Free agent running back LaDainian Tomlinson hasn’t found a new team just yet. But as he visits with the Jets, the rumors are swirling that he’s close.
We’ve caught wind of a rumor that Tomlinson will, in fact, sign with the Jets. Although you should file this under “rumor” rather than “report” right now, suffice to say that it’s a strong rumor coming from a good source.
Tomlinson was meeting with the Jets this afternoon, and the New York Daily News reports that Tomlinson is spending another night in town.
Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan are trying hard to get Tomlinson, who’s also considering the Vikings, to commit to the Jets, and the indications are that the Jets are going to get their man.
