Money doesn't necessarily buy wins in the NFL but it apparently goes a long way on Revis Island.

Responding to a comment from a fan on Twitter, Darrelle Revis revealed he'd rather be getting $16 million with Greg Schiano's struggling and dysfunctional Tampa Bay Buccaneers than be receiving $12 million on Rex Ryan's 5-4 New York Jets.

A three-time All Pro, Revis spent the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Jets before being traded to the Bucs before the 2013 season. The trade came after Revis and the Jets failed to agree on contract extension. Revis signed a six-year contract with the Bucs worth $96 million. He is making $16 million in 2013.
