Tomlinson Jets to AFC

The New York Jets have signed veteran running back LaDainian Tomlinson. It didn't make sense to me why they cut Thomas Jones. Jones has been very productive for New York. He slowed down toward the end of the season. That could have been more about injuries. Tomlinson also adds to what may be lost with Leon Washington going down with a knee injury last season. Washington may not be full strength all of next year. LaDainian could come into New York with a chip on his shoulder. He still has some gas in the tank. He could definitely run for 1,000 yards next season. LT can also add a receiving threat out of the backfield. New York has an excellent offensive line making this move look like it could really work. Curtis Martin resurrected his career and had great success toward the end. I think Tomlinson can do the same. It may be a one and done, but I think he will be solid in 2010. It wont surprise me if the Jets end up in the Super Bowl. I don't think LT is the reason. A good offensive line and quarterback in his second season with playoff experience should help the offense. This is a run first team with a great defense. The have those pieces. Adding a pass rusher or a top wide receiver in the first round would be smart. Brandon Graham or Arrellious Benn could put this team over the top as first round picks.
