24. Darelle Revis
Revis was one of the Jets’ best players in 2010 but he drove his new head coach crazy. He engaged in one of the most dramatic contract holdouts of the decade because Woody Johnson wouldn’t pay him. Revis shrugged his shoulders and was happy to sit out. The new season edged closer but Revis didn’t care and missed the offseason training schedule.

In the end, Ryan forced the issue because he didn’t want to lose the cornerback. He even drove to Johnson’s house because he wanted to make it clear that this was a massive deal. Finally, they made the new contract happen and Revis signed up. They even made it to the AFC title game that season. It’s safe to say that the extension was a success because Revis was brilliant.
