CORTLAND, N.Y. – New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis missed most of practice Sunday with what he called "a little tightness" in his right hamstring, fueling speculation he sat out because of unhappiness with his contract.

Revis insisted that wasn't the case.

"I knew you were going to ask that question," he told a reporter, shaking his head. "Come on, it has nothing to do with it. If I didn't want to be here, I would've held out."

It wouldn't have been the first time Revis sat out a practice because of his contract.

Two years ago, Revis was unhappy with his contract and staged a mini-protest in minicamp, pulling himself out of a few drills with a tight hamstring and lightheadedness. He later admitted that he exaggerated it to send a message, a precursor to an acrimonious, 35-day holdout in training camp. Ultimately, he received a one-year extension, but not the long-term deal he coveted.

Two weeks later, in the second regular-season game, Revis pulled his left hamstring while covering Randy Moss, later admitting the long layoff contributed to the injury. He missed two games.

Revis acknowledged Sunday he's had "a lot of hamstring problems," but he claimed this latest issue is minor. He said he expects to practice Monday.
