Exactly, although on the surface it seems like the role they have envisioned for him is the same as Leon Washington. Assuming Leon's health, it's going to take some creativity to get them all on the field.

Fair enough, also I just realized this morning that it's 5 million and change over 2 years (no including any clauses that might be in there). So there is a considerable savings opposed to TJ.
I'll admit, I used to love Tomlinson (especially in my football betting days when he was at TCU). But I lost alot of respect for him that year he sat out with a sprained ankle again the Pats in the AFC title game. While Drew Brees played with some sort of tear inside his knee. I know that I have no idea what the extent of his injury was, but I just thought he came across as being soft and it seems like he was never the same player after that.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Complainian Tomlinson to the Jets!!!

The only player in the NFL who cries more than the Jets coach.

This move I didn't get. LT is d-o-n-e. Its not like that Charger line can't block. He just has lost too much to get there now. I didn't see the actual terms and I wonder how much is guaranteed.

I think this is a reach but we will see.
