CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) — Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis is holding out from training camp, locked in a contract dispute with the team.
Revis did not report with the rest of the teammates Sunday as they arrived for the start of the camp.
Revis did not take the conditioning test with the rest of his teammates at the Jets’ facilities in Florham Park, N.J.
In a statement issued by his agents, Neil Schwartz and Jon Feinsod, they said they waited until the last minute to try and get something done.
They added “Darrelle will not be in camp.”
“Darrelle and his family were extremely deliberate with the decision-making process. Schwartz told the Associated Press on Sunday. “Obviously his actions speak far louder than words.”
Revis is to make $1 million in the fourth year of his six-year rookie deal, but he wants to be the league’s highest-paid cornerback. Oakland’s Nnamdi Asomugha holds that distinction, signing a three-year, $45.3 million extension last offseason.
Also Sunday, the Jets’ fourth-round draft pick, running back Joe McKnight, passed a conditioning test that he initially failed.
Wide receiver Santonio Holmes was given a later mandatory report date of Wednesday so he can attend to a family matter. Holmes wrote on this Twitter page this week that his son was in the hospital, but it was uncertain if that was the reason for the delay.
Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins (hamstring) and backup quarterback Kellen Clemens (calf) were placed on the active-physically unable to perform list.
