As you'd expect after winning the Super Bowl, New England Patriots players are proving to be very popular on the free agent market.

Darelle Revis has come to an agreement with the New York Jets, according to his agent Neil Schwartz. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Jets offered Revis over the $40 million guaranteed that he hoped to earn as a free agent. The organization initially drafted Revis.
Teams could officially sign free agents as of 4 p.m. Tuesday, and NFL Media's Ian Rapoport is reporting that running back Shane Vereen will sign with the New York Giants. The Washington Redskins' Roy Helu and the Detriot Lions' Reggie Bush are two players who are seen as possible replacements.
According to multiple reports, the team also refused to pick up cornerback Brandon Browner's option for the 2015 season, saving the team more than $4 million on the salary cap.
