LaDainian Tomlinson has heard all of the critics who say that signing him was the Jets' version of March madness. And he believes he can prove them wrong.
"I have to prove to people where I am at this point in my career that I can still play this game, and I'm very confident I can," said Tomlinson, who spoke with reporters on a conference call two days after the Jets signed him to a two-year, $5.1 million deal to back up second-year running back Shonn Greene.
Tomlinson was signed nine days after the Jets released Thomas Jones, who rushed for a career-high 1,402 yards last season. Jones subsequently signed with Kansas City for $5 million over two years. He was owed $5.8 million by the Jets in 2010, a $3 million roster bonus and a $2.8 million base salary.

The Jets weren't sure whether LaDainian Tomlinson would even make it to their facility after the Vikings put on the full-court press last Thursday. Tomlinson was very impressed with Minnesota, but honored his scheduled visit with the Jets.
Apparently the Jets were even more convincing, because the future Hall of Fame running back agreed to a two-year deal reportedly worth $5.2 million.
In Minnesota, Tomlinson would have received carried behind Adrian Peterson, and likely would have had a significant third-down role. With the Jets, the opportunity for carries appears to be more consistent.
"I thought I definitely may have an opportunity to get more touches with the Jets," he said. Be first to comment this article | Add as favourites (0) | Quote this article on your site | Views: 0 |
