Top 11 Reasons the Darelle Revis Holdout Ended

11) Revis received a memo from his management noting that the next game will actually count

10) Jets management remembered that the Patriots still employ Randy Moss, and that it would be kind of useful to win those games

9) Rex Ryan held his breath really long for Jets management, and held something else entirely for Revis

8) The team assured him that if he signed, he wouldn't be cut or even lose his starting job, and waived the demand that he apologize to everyone on the team for his actions

7) Revis decided that he'd rather have LaDanian Tomlinson or Mark Sanchez be the scapegoat for a non-Super Bowl winning year

6) It was all just his way to avoid appearing on HBO, who he has never forgiven for under-promoting "The Wire"

5) Revis finally got over the fact that Lito Shepard won't be his teammate any more

4) While it's not quite Crazy Raiders money, 4 years for $46 million isn't exactly chump change

3) Somehow, the Jets didn't feel all that comfortable with Antonio "Kid Roll Call" Cromartie as the top CB on the roster

2) The team's mediocre preseason pass defense rating finally convinced the club that Revis is actually kinda good

1) "Hard Knocks" needed a happy ending, even if the Jets' season doesn't get one
