Jets owner backs Revis on ‘horrible’ harassment

Leave Darrelle Revis alone.

That’s the message owner Woody Johnson sent to Jets fans Tuesday when told of their harassment of the All-Pro cornerback.

On Monday night, after Revis and the Buccaneers posted their first win of the season, a 22-19 victory over the controversy-engulfed Dolphins at Raymond James Stadium, Revis told The Post’s Bart Hubbuch, in an exclusive interview, Gang Green fans haven’t gotten over his departure and have threatened him, even issuing death threats.

“That’s certainly inappropriate, on Twitter or any social media [websites],” Johnson said at The Bowery Mission on the Lower East Side while launching the Super Bowl Community Coat Drive. “They shouldn’t be making those kind of statements. That’s horrible.

“I don’t think anybody should make those kinds of threats to anybody for any reason. It’s not good social conduct.”

His message to Jets fans was: “Don’t do it.”

Johnson said he is not surprised to hear of the alleged ugly interactions, however, because “on social media, anything goes.”

“Anything,” according to Revis, includes verbal abuse.

“I get harassed every day on Twitter [by Jets fans], and I barely even tweet. And you just get tired of it,” Revis said in the exclusive interview. “You’ve got to have a backbone, because guys are saying, ‘F–– you!’ and ‘I want to kill you!’ It’s crazy, but I’ve been getting death threats from them since my first holdout [in 2010]. It’s just bitter Jets fans.”

Revis responded to one fan, who went by the Twitter handle @Jason_Owen, who asked him on Twitter if the $16 million annual salary he is receiving from the one-win Buccaneers is better than the $12 million he could have earned from the Jets, who at 5-4 are playoff contenders. Revis tweeted, “naw, 16 is better,” a response which drew a storm of critical responses.

Revis is in the first year of a six-year, $96 million contract, but none of the money is guaranteed, meaning the superstar defensive back is playing for his job every season.

Revis feels the tweet was “blown out of proportion” by the New York media, but he stands by it, even if Tampa Bay is going nowhere this season.

“I said what I said, and I meant it — to that particular person,” Revis said. “It don’t have to be toward the New York Jets or nothing. They’re trying to say I’m money hungry, but I’m not really concerned about that. I used to play in New York, so I’m used to getting booed. I’m a pro about that, and that’s nothing I’m concerned about.”

Revis said he is happy where he is. He wants Jets fans to move on.

“They’re still not over the fact that I’m not there no more, and they give me crap all the time on Twitter,” Revis said. “If they would understand the business of it and understand what happened, then maybe they would know and maybe they would quit trying to point the finger at me. That’s where it is.”

After Revis missed most of last year with an ACL injury, new Jets general manager John Idzik was noncommittal about his future. There was a contentious back and forth between the two, and Idzik ended up trading the unhappy

Revis to the Bucs for a first-round pick in last year’s draft and a conditional selection in the 2014 draft. The Jets used the selection on defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, a defensive rookie of the year candidate. They used their own first-round pick on cornerback Dee Milliner, who has struggled mightily. Revis has played well for Tampa Bay, notching two interceptions, two forced fumbles and 26 tackles in nine games.

Johnson said, although the Jets secondary has been a glaring weakness on the team’s otherwise solid unit, he hasn’t second-guessed the decision to trade Revis.

“We’re very happy with the way things are going right now,” Johnson said. “We’re focused. We have a very young defense. The guys are going to get better. We have so many new faces on defense. It’s a coordinated effort. Hopefully with all these games behind us we’ll get better and better and better.”
