CORTLAND, N.Y. — Darrelle Revis pulled his gray Mini Cooper into a spot outside the SUNY Cortland dorms a bit after 4 p.m. Thursday. It had been three years since the Jets All-Pro cornerback had reported to camp here, and Thursday, Revis made sure it wasn’t four.

Revis had dangled the possibility of a holdout all offseason and said he was “close” to doing so. But a “couple days ago,” he decided to come to camp.

“I want to be around the team,” Revis said. “I haven’t been to a lot of training camps in the past, so I just want to be here and get ready for this year. My focus right now is just trying to dominate again and do what I do best to help this team win.”

For the Jets, eager to start again after last year’s disappointing 8-8 finish, having their best player in the building was welcome news.

They are back in Cortland, where their team was forged in 2009 and 2010, when they appeared in back-to-back AFC Championship games. Driving into town, quarterback Mark Sanchez said he felt the “magic” from those years here, and that it was their job to reclaim it.

“We’ll start tonight,” coach Rex Ryan said, “and we’re going to build a football team.”

And yes, they will build it with Revis present and accounted for. The 27-year-old All-Pro cornerback has held out twice in his five-year career, and had left the door open to doing so again. But he and his representatives reviewed several scenarios this offseason and elected not to do so this year.

Perhaps one factor was the response they received when approaching the Jets about reworking his deal. In 2010, Revis signed a seven-year contract which voids to a four-year, $46 million contract if he does not hold out. When his agents, Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod, approached general manager Mike Tannenbaum about redoing his deal with two years left, Revis said the “brief” talks did not go anywhere.

“The response was, ‘We’ll deal with it later; we’ll handle it later,’ ” Revis said. “I trust Mike, and what he is saying, and we’ll see. Like I said, my situation is a little bit different from others, but it has to boil down to something sooner or later of getting a deal done or not.”
