Darrelle Revis has agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal with the New England Patriots.

Revis was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday.

The Patriots had a need for a cornerback following the departure of Aqib Talib to the Denver Broncos.

The Patriots could potentially use the franchise tag on Revis in 2015.

For Revis, he will earn $28 million over his first two seasons upon leaving the New York Jets. The annual average of $14 million is the most of any cornerback in the NFL.
