it’s funny because LT says that he couldn’t play on a team where someone talks about their contract just minutes prior to stepping on the field before a playoff game (ehem….Cromartie…ehem) and now they’re both Jets.

I love how all the same Vikes fans that were drooling over the AP/LT combo are now crowing about how hes the Jets problem now and thank god they avoided him.
Oh and CHADO,
Based on how you spell I realize this might be tough for you to read, but just remember I told ya so when the Jets beat the Fins both times this year. Both of your wins were complete flukes last year, especially the 2nd one. They will be harshly avenged this season, mark that down.

NO TJ draft Percy, No LT draft a RB. I live in SD and LT has lost it, 3.3 ypc wasnt because hes a little slower, he doesnt break tackles anymore. In fact I didnt see him shed one tackler the entire year. Who played better the last couple seasons, aging RB’s or RB’s taken on the first day. Vikings are a very smart organization and will go much farther than the Jets

What? STOP THE PRESSES! What do you mean he doesn’t want to play for the Vikings? Doesn’t he realize that BRETT FAVRE PLAYS FOR THE VIKINGS? I think the reasons he gave for going elsewhere included; terrible team chemistry, poor management, the coach is an idiot, the city is too small and devoid of culture, the fans are too fat, everyone on the team is overpaid, the talent on the team is overrated, the fans wear stupid looking braids and horns on their heads, the uniforms are stupid looking, the fans can’t spell and they are all homosexuals, the stadium sucks, Minnesota is in the middle of nowhere, ice fishing is more popular than school or church (so is hockey,) every female fan is a cow and toothless, the kids think a Lombardi trophy is the name of a taxidermist, etc., etc., etc. I would write more reason but these are the only ones I could find to copy from previous Viking “fan” comments….you know, the “original” stuff.

this is probly true because it sounds like somthing the jets would do and that is give up a good promising back like jones and pick up a basicly over the hill (or at best really declining) back like l.t. but it’s all good to me it’ll just help us fins sweep them this year AGAIN

What the hell are you thinking LT?? You have a chance at a championship in Minnesota…but you just couldn’t put your ego aside and play second fiddle to Adrian Peterson, could you?
The only reason he is signing in NY is because he thinks he can beat out Greene and Washington for the starting job…which he won’t.

JimmySmith,
The 19-0 shirts were on the same boat as the 2007 GB NFC Champion shirts when the current QB of the Vikings did what he does best, throw the pick.

Why is this a big deal? There is a reason the Chargers released him, he is not productive anymore…..his tires are running flat, just like every other 30 something back. He had some great years and was one of the best. Key words being “had” and “was”. Those are past tense. Just look at the stats….he has consistantly gotten less and less yardage per carry. Not to mention, the Chargers actually could throw it, so teams did not even have to load the box to stop him. Thomas Jones was a MUCH more productive back than LT last year, so quit getting your panties in a wad JETs fans…..he will be injured by mid-season, and average 3 yards per carry….again….you are getting another teams trash.

TJ: Thumping North South runner, short yardage guy, locker room guy
LT: Can hit the outside, can hit the inside, can catch, a vet guy to help with Greene, good in open field.
In his prime he was 10 times better than everyone out there. He may have lost a lot of that, but that still makes him better than a lot of guys. If you add in the Jets o-line, and he can be pretty damn good.

What’s up with the jets? They cut T. Jones in order to save 3 mill, yet now they need to sign a guy to replace him? Nice move Jets, get rid of a good backer and replace him with a burned out one (LT), all for your precious 3 mill, which will all likely go to LT if you sign him anyway. Poor management.

LT sure has decreased in ability over the past couple of days. Two days ago Viking fans were telling us what a great prospect he was for their team and how his signing would make the Vikings invincible. Today the same fans are telling us how washed up he is and how he’s become a complaining diva. How did Tomlinson go downhill so fast?

Haha Jets why would you let T-Jones go for LT?? I mean really???
Yeah…that move still hurts. Difference is a $3 mil bonus and TJ’s lack of ability as a reciever.

Everyone on here seem to forget Leon Washington is still a Jet. LT would be behind Leon and Greene on the totem pole.
How is that a bad thing?

Only idiot Jet fans would be excited about getting LT.
So the Jets front office dumps a back that had over 1400 yds and is trying to sign a back that about half that. Yeah thats smart business…par for the course if your the Jets I guess.

Only relevance this has to 99.9% of the football world is that Shonn Greene’s fantasy stock will nosedive. L.T. is done and will only take away from the production that Greene should have in 2010.

IF the Jets make the playoffs LT will be no where to be seen as usual. Poor Jets fans, always getting the hand-me-downs. They should have kept Jones. Idiots….

The only thing this article proves is that Packer fans have no life.
Let Pack fans keep rejoicing over the signing of two shitty tackles that anchor their horrible o-line.
Will be fun to see Ray and Jared cut loose on Karen again this year. Should we set the over-under at 10 sacks for the 2 games?

Revenge a factor? LT was the highest paid RB in the league for years. He got $5M last year for not playing a whole season for the 3rd year in a row and 700+ yards. Under his restructured deal SD would have to pay him more this year so they had no choice.
It would have been nice to see him retire in SD but you know his agent would advise him against restructuring again to allow it.

@ stetai
“the type of person he is, is someone that would rather have cash, and play in a similar system, with a better o-line for rushing, than win a Super Bowl and have to actually put forth effort.”
You’re like a woman scorned you little bitch!
And you write as if the Jets didn’t make it as far as the Vikes last year… what’s with that? How are your Vikes any better than the Jets from ’09?
And what makes you so sure Favre is even coming back? If he doesn’t, your precious Vikes are in deep trouble!
Also, I’m not quite capturing your logic that LT’s a bad person b/c he wants to go to team that will pay him, that has a similar system, and has a better O-line? Are you stupid?

GOOD! Ladanian is the equivilent of TJ Houshmanzadah! He’d rather play where he would rather live which is NY over MN. Hey if you don’t live here I’ll tell ya MN isn’t glamorous but it doesnt have half the a-holes that NY has. And any shmuck who thinks the Jets have a better chance of making the Super Bowl than the Vikes has been smoking something strong. Have fun getting limited handoffs from a sophmore slumping Sanchez while Shonne shines. LT? Washed up! YPC is the #1 stat for a RB and his stinks like the East River!

@generalbo – no Vikings fans are jumping off the so-called bandwagon because LT may go to the Jets…who cares…LT is a name at this point in his career…that’s it.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see Childress sign Westbrook instead.

As a Vikes fan, I hope this report is correct, as L.T. is about to evoke memories of the following:
O.J. Simpson as a 49er
Franco Harris as a Seahawk
Emmitt Smith as a Cardinal
Shaun Alexander as a Redskin.
