Darrelle Revis’ pretrial hearing has been pushed back to March 15 after originally being scheduled for Thursday.
The Jets cornerback is facing four felony charges and one misdemeanor after being accused of being involved in a street fight last week in Pittsburgh. Revis was arraigned Friday and released on a non-monetary bond. Revis’ attorneys have denied any wrongdoing by Revis.
The delay in the hearing means the Jets will have to make a decision about Revis’ future with the team before the hearing. The Jets owe Revis a $2 million roster bonus on March 10, which creates a deadline for them to either release Revis or ask him to take a paycut. There is no way the Jets would keep Revis at his current $15.3 million salary.
The likelihood is Revis will be cut by the Jets after a disappointing 2016 season. The Jets can’t make that move until the new league year begins on March 9, though, because of salary-cap rules.
