The New York Jets have traded star cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 13th overall pick in Thursday night's draft and a conditional selection next year.

The Buccaneers announced the deal on Sunday, saying Revis agreed to a new six-year contract.

The deal is worth $96 million, making Revis the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history, but includes no guaranteed money, according to sources close to the Pro Bowl cornerback.

The conditional pick headed to the Jets is a fourth-round selection in 2014, but could become a third-rounder if Revis is on Tampa Bay's roster on the third day of the 2014 league year, sources said.

"We're thrilled. It's rare that you get a chance to add a player of this caliber to your football team. That's what motivated us," Bucs general manager Mark Dominik said.

The Buccaneers formally will introduce Revis during a news conference Monday at noon ET. The front page of the Buccaneers' official team website posted a big picture of Revis in what appears to be a Tampa Bay jersey with the words: "Treasure Island. Darrelle Revis (CB). It's a Bucs Life."

A four-time Pro Bowler during his six-year stint in New York, the 27-year-old Revis addressed Jets fans in a series of tweets Sunday night.

"I been sitting around for the last hour trying to figure out what to say to the Jet Nation & I came up with this," Revis posted on his Twitter account. "The six years I played for the New York Jets were unbelievable. I put my body on the line everyday & did everything could to help the team win.

"I experienced a lot & learned a lot. The memories I had in New York I will keep dearly to my heart. I want to thank all the jets fans for making me feel welcome."

The six-year, $96 million deal would make Revis one of the NFL's two highest-paid defensive players along with Mario Williams.

Jets general manager John Idzik cited multiple reasons for the trade, namely the inability to negotiate a long-term extension with the cornerback and a "degree of uncertainty" regarding Revis' rehab from a serious knee injury suffered last season.
