Darrelle Revis is no longer facing league discipline in the wake of a February incident in Pittsburgh that allegedly left two men unconscious, an NFL spokesman said Monday, according to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.

The four felony charges Revis was facing were dropped in March after Revis' childhood friend testified in court that he was the one who knocked out two men during a fight on Feb. 12.

Revis, the Jets' first-round pick in 2007, was released by the team in March. The 31-year-old cornerback had arguably his worst season in 2016 and that, coupled with his salary (he was set to count $15.3 million against the cap in 2017) and off-field issues, made the decision an easy one.

"Darrelle Revis is one of the greatest players to ever wear a Jets uniform," Jets owner Woody Johnson said at the time in a statement. "His combination of talent, preparation and instincts is rare and helped him become one of the most dominant players of his generation. I appreciate Darrelle's contributions to this organization and, wherever his career takes him, his home will always be here with the Jets."

Revis is still owed $6 million by the Jets, but the man who was once known as "Revis Island" because of his shutdown-corner abilities remains a free agent because of diminishing skills. In fact, shortly after Revis was released, an NFL general manager had this to say: "Have you seen his tape?" the GM asked the the New York Daily News' Manish Mehta. "I wouldn't let him play for me for free."

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Revis' current skill level, and it's why if he wants to continue playing, not only will he have to take a substantial pay cut (he could theoretically play for the veteran minimum while the Jets pay him $6 million), but he'll almost certainly have to move from cornerback, where he dominated for years, to safety.
