From 2010-2012, the New York Jets touted the best cornerback tandem in the NFL, Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie.

On Thursday, they got the duo back together.

Cromartie agreed to sign with the Jets, following Revis back to Gang Green in free agency. Revis returned to the Jets on a five-year, $70 million deal. The 31-year-old Cromartie is expected to sign a three-year deal, but terms of the contract were not immediately available.

That gives new head coach Todd Bowles and the Jets a new top three at the position, including former Cleveland Browns starter Buster Skrine. What that might mean for former first-round pick Dee Milliner is not certain.

Cromartie played for Bowles with the Arizona Cardinals last season and also considered at least two other offers, including from the Dallas Cowboys.

Cromartie played for the Jets in 2013 when Revis spent his only season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was traded to Tampa for draft picks, a haul that then-general manager John Idzik turned into Milliner.
