New England Patriots sign Darrelle Revis to one-year deal.Darrelle Revis and the New England Patriots have reached agreement on a one-year, $12 million deal.

Cornerback Darrelle Revis and the New England Patriots have reached agreement on a contract, according to league sources.

While Revis' deal has a cash value of $12 million this year, the sides added a second year to the pact. The second year is worth $20 million, a sum so large it makes it unlikely the Patriots would pay it, thus making Revis an unrestricted free agent again in 2015.

The second year helps the team spread the salary-cap charges for Revis over two seasons instead of taking one $12 million cap hit in 2014. It also eliminates the chance he could be given the franchise tag by the Patriots in 2015.
