The Darrelle Revis saga has a new chapter. Now head coach Rex Ryan has spoke out and given his two cents on the “will Revis be traded” saga. Only, his claims go against the rest of the front office.

“I know for a fact that we’re not actively trying to trade Darrelle Revis. But if somebody calls, you listen,” Ryan said, via the New York Post’s Bart Hubbuch.

So that statement from the Jets’ head coach makes it seem as if they’re planning on having Revis on their roster next season. Many had suspected that they would be getting rid of him before the draft.

Rex Ryan though clearly appears to be just blowing smoke up everyone’s you know whats. Look at what he said about Tim Tebow.

Bart Hubbuch quotes Rex as saying Tebow “will be part of the competition.”

But even Rex says he doesn’t know what the front office is doing, and why certain moves like trading Revis and cutting Tim Tebow haven’t happened yet.

“I’m not out of the loop [on roster decisions now]. Ultimately, though, my only job is to coach the football team,” Rex said.

But Jets fans don’t stress. He won’t guarantee a Super Bowl, but his squad will be ready for 2013.

“We’re going to bring it. We are going to bring it. I know what it takes, and I promise you, my guys are going to be ready,” Rex said.
