Free-agent running back LaDainian Tomlinson agreed to a two-year deal with the New York Jets, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The report doesn’t come as a big surprise, considering several sources on Sunday reported that Tomlinson was expected to choose the Jets over the Minnesota Vikings.
What the Vikings choose to do next is a mystery. Coach Brad Childress is reportedly high on running back Albert Young, and there are some veteran free-agent options available.
A real possibility could be to draft a running back in the upcoming draft, because running backs are considered a deep crop this year.
Update: The NY Daily News reports Tomlinson got $5.2 million over two years from Jets. The deal could be worth as much as $5.7 million.
