PHOENIX -- Cornerback Darrelle Revis was a guest on the “Michael Kay Show” on ESPN New York 98.7 FM on Wednesday and here were a few of the notable sound bites from a New England Patriots perspective:

How competitive the Patriots’ contract offer was in free agency. “I’m obviously not going speak the numbers. But I had the option, the $20 million option they could have exercised and they didn’t. Then we tried to work on a deal, and the deal, we felt that it wasn’t in the ballpark of what we were looking for. We just moved on. They moved on too. I had a great conversation with Bill [Belichick]. And we moved forward, just like they did. That’s how I look at it.”

The early stages of free agency and Jets’ interest. “There was a lot of stuff going on at that time. In free agency, they were one of the teams who called. It was a [number] of teams. It was the Steelers, it was Cleveland, it was the Chiefs, it was the Packers, Baltimore. There were other teams as well. Guys were willing to fly down and meet with me. The whole situation with New York, like I said, it always goes back to that’s where that’s where I got drafted, that’s where I feel most comfortable, that’s where I feel familiar with. I know a lot of people in the building and I just felt like, for me, it was time to come home.”

On money as a factor. “Contracts are contracts, we all know that. Both sides have to agree on the deal and the numbers are the numbers. It’s not just one sided. It’s going to get done by both sides agreeing to the terms.”

Playing for Bill Belichick and Rex Ryan. “I love them both. I learned a lot from Rex, I definitely learned a lot from Bill. They have two different coaching styles. Having either one of them to be your head coach, I don’t think you can go wrong either way. I’m just happy to play under those guys and learn a lot of football from both sides.”

Belichick’s sense of humor compared to Ryan. “Bill is funny. It’s a dry sense of humor. If you’re around him long enough, you’ll get it, his dry sense of humor, his jokes. He’ll crack a smile, and you’ll crack a smile with him. He gets guys laughing and things, but Rex is a little more loud. Bill is a little more conservative and kind of more of a laid-back guy.”

Seahawks’ final play of the Super Bowl. “That was a crazy play call. It was. But at the same time, I guess, Pete Carroll felt comfortable, the coaching staff, throwing the ball at that time. After everything died down, you think ‘Why not run the ball with the best running back in the game?’ I guess they tried to make it, I call it the Tom Brady versus Russell Wilson game. They tried to make it a passing game. We made them pay at the end.”
