We all know by now that Darrelle Revis is back with the Jets at their facility, signed, and getting ready for the MNF opener with the Baltimore Ravens (That game is going to be CRAZY), but the player ended another type of hold out:

His Twitter hold out on @Revis24:

"Where's my phone, I need to Tweet!"

You didn’t really expect Darrelle to be active on Twitter during this hold out, and even his manager John Geiger who is VERY active on twitter but out on average one tweet every other week which is unheard of for him.  Yesterday, he must have tweeted 200 times before noon alone!  Ok I exaggerate, but he has been non-stop tweeting and sending picks of sneakers, hats, and everything else that his camera captures.

I also read an article from Manish Mehta that said John was getting death threats in email and on twitter. What the heck is wrong with people.  Man, that is some serious stuff going on there.   I saw this tweet from him yesterday:

I’m glad these two are back on Twitter as they were interesting reads.  Here is Revis’ hold out according to twitter:

Revis Tweeted 15 times on his day back!

News that Darrelle signed with the Jets and ended his hold out spread like wild fire on twitter.  His twitter id @Revis24 was in every tweet I was getting and his followers exploded on that night significantly.  He went from 65,540 to 72,904 with a (+7,354 increase in that one day).  Darrelle is currently up to 75k and will continue to grow on average of 1k per day.

Revis added 7K followers on the Day he Signed
