Free agent running back LaDainian Tomlinson arrived at New York late on Thursday night and stayed there for another whole day on Friday, having not decided when to leave or where to go next. Will he stay there with Jets? Possibly yes, but nothing about a deal has been released yet.
After meeting with team officials at the Jets’ training facility in Florham Park, N.J., on Friday, Tomlinson had dinner with Coach Rex Ryan, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and others in New Jersey. He was scheduled to fly back home to San Diego, but changed his flight after arriving so late Thursday night. Then the Jets extended the visit Friday to include a dinner. And then, no late-night flights to the West Coast were available on Friday night, so Tomlinson had to spend another night in New York. According to Jets spokesman Bruce Speight, the running back has not decided on the next stop of his itinerary.
The Jets could be happy to have more time with Tomlinson as they are trying to persuade him to put on the Jets jersey as an important part of the team’s offense that ranked No. 1 in rushing last season. Turning 31 in 2010, Tomlinson could be expected to back up Shonn Greene if he decides to stay with the Jets.
