Jets' Woody Johnson: 'I'd love for Darrelle (Revis) to come back'
Woody Johnson spent the majority of Monday's press conference addressing the dismissals of Rex Ryan and John Idzik, but his answer to a question about one of his former players could have the New York Jets' owner soon hearing from the league office.
Asked about cornerback Darrelle Revis, now with the division rival New England Patriots, Johnson expressed a desire for him to make a return to New York.

Although Johnson was simply sharing his high regard for the former Jets star, making such comments about a player from another team can be a violation of the NFL's tampering rules.
