Not speculation anymore.
At a news conference to discuss the firing of coach Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik, Johnson openly praised Revis and added, "I'd love for Darrelle to come back."
Later that day, Johnson issued a mea culpa, saying he "misspoke" when he made his comments. He also said he called Patriots owner Robert Kraft to "emphasize those points."
"I misspoke today when I commented on Darrelle Revis," Johnson said. "I would never interfere in the contractual relationship of a player with another team and should not have used those words."
The NFL's tampering policy says, "Any public or private statement of interest, qualified or unqualified, in another club's player to that player's agent or representative, or to a member of the news media, is a violation of the Anti-Tampering Policy."
