Tomlinson charges across country to NY Jets
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}NEW YORK (Reuters) - Running back LaDainian Tomlinson has signed with the New York Jets, the team said on Sunday on its website (http://www.newyorkjets.com).
Tomlinson, who was recently released after nine seasons with the San Diego Chargers, had visited several potential teams before choosing the Jets in a two-year contract worth slightly more than $5 million, the New York Times reported.
The 30-year-old will boost a Jets team that reached the AFC championship game last season and was the top-ranked rushing team in the league.
