Revis, 31, was scheduled to make $15 million, including a $2 million roster bonus, next season — but that would have been a lofty salary for an aging player who admittedly had a subpar year. The move Tuesday, which was expected, makes Revis a free agent while also clearing about $9.3 million on the salary cap. Revis is also facing aggravated assault and other charges alleging he was in a fight with two men on Feb. 12 in Pittsburgh, but his legal issues aren't believed to have played a role in the Jets' decision. ___ For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL SEE ALSO: The 10 super-agents in the NBA who represent more than $1.5 billion in player salaries   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
