The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may no longer be the front-runner to land Darrelle Revis in a trade with the New York Jets.
The cornerback is "not optimistic" that a deal will get done.
Revis isn't looking to leave the Jets, but the club is unlikely to meet his contract demands.
He is set to opt out of his current deal and become an unrestricted free agent after the 2013 season.
