Jets coach Rex Ryan said he hadn't heard anything new between practices Monday, and insisted the team needs to press ahead without Revis.
"We're coaching this group," Ryan said. "That's all we can focus on right now is getting this team ready. We've got to prepare like he's not going to be here. And, if he comes walking through the door, that's fine. Somebody will kiss him on the lips, probably. It doesn't matter. We're getting this team ready."
Revis is being fined $16,523 for each day he misses, meaning he is already out $148,707. By sitting out, he also waived a clause in his contract which would have guaranteed him $20 million over the last two years of his deal.
The next big day in the holdout is Tuesday, when -- by rule -- he wouldn't get credit for this year as an accrued season toward free agency. However, it is believed that won't have much bearing on Revis' decision.
The possibility that it could be a long holdout isn't out of the question. Revis' uncle, former NFL defensive lineman Sean Gilbert, sat out the entire 1997 season in a contract dispute. Gilbert, whom Revis confides in, ended up getting traded from Washington to Carolina and got the big payday he sought.
"When there is an appropriate deal to be made, I have absolutely no idea," Tannenbaum said. "Do I hope it was a month ago? Sure. But, until there's a deal that makes sense for both sides, he's not here and there's nothing we can do about it."
