The New York Jets rolled the dice by taking a chance on LaDanian Tomlinson with a two-year deal to repace the departed and reliable Thomas Jones who signed with Kansas City Chiefs.
Tomlinson, the 5th pick of the 2001 NFL Draft is a five-time Pro Bowler who has rushed for 12,490 yards on 2,880 attempts and 138 touchdowns.
Just a year younger than the more durable Thomas Jones, Tomlinson has a history of getting invisible in the playoffs as he has failed to rush for a 100 yards in the post season.

LaDainian Tomlinson has officially gone green and decided to sign with the New York Jets.
According to a tweet by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Tomlinson signed a two-year deal with the Jets and will share the backfield with Shonne Greene and Leon Washington this upcoming season.
Tomlinson’s addition makes the Jets extremely dangerous not only in the AFC East, but in the entire AFC Conference now.
Greene broke onto the scene during the last half of the 2009 season and during the Jet’s playoff run, and he looks to be the main ball carrier, but Tomlinson’s experience adds a new dimension to help mentor both the young runners.
The Jets already made a splash in free agency acquiring Antonio Cromartie from the Chargers to add to their already potent defense.
Now Tomlinson makes the Jets offense explosive and aids in helping with the growth and development of quarterback Mark Sanchez.
Look out Patriots, Colts, Chargers, and the rest of the AFC.
The Jets are looking to win big and win now.

LaDainian Tomlinson Signs With the New York Jets

Former San Diego Charger LaDainian Tomlinson will be joining the Jets as soon as today or tomorrow reports the San Diego Union Tribune and Sports Illustrated’s Jim Trotter.
Tomlinson has played his entire nine year career with the San Diego Chargers but was released earlier this off-season. Tomlinson was due a roster bonus of $2 million and was coming off career lows in the 2009 season.
L.T. joined the Chargers in 2001 as the fifth selection in the draft, taken after San Diego traded the top pick to Atlanta, which the Falcons used on Michael Vick.
The 30 year-old running back won NFL rushing titles in 2006 and ‘07, set a single-season record with 31 touchdowns, and has gained 12,490 yards rushing, the eighth-highest total in league history.
Signing with the New York Jets gives them a replacement for the veteran leadership that Thomas Jones provided this season. Tomlinson will likely become the third down back to spell Shonn Greene who had a strong end to the season and playoff run.
Tomlinson was the 2006 MVP but only rushed for 730 yards in 2009, which is the lowest total in his nine year career. On the other side, Thomas Jones rushed for 1,400 yards but was released and has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs.
While this is a good signing for the Jets to replace Jones, it’s hard to say one over the other at this point in their careers. Both running backs are past 30 and could be on the decline. It was Thomas Jones, the former running back, who put up the better numbers in 2009, while Tomlinson has never proved anything other than sitting out come playoff time.

New York Jets Coach Rex Ryan Undergoes Weight-Loss Surgery

According to a report by the New York Daily News, New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan underwent a lap-band weight-loss surgery on Saturday.
His stomach has been reduced in size to that of a 16-year old.
How might this affect the New York Jets?
They certainly won’t get to hear anymore fat jokes, many of which Ryan makes up himself.
Coach Ryan has always made jokes about his weight, including comments after a photo of him shirtless, while changing into a Carolina Hurricanes jersey for a Florida-Carolina NHL game last month aired on television and made it’s way around the Internet.
The defensive-minded head coach even went as far as to blame his weight on why the Atlanta Falcons didn’t hire him after the 2007 season.
Sports heads from all around the country have poked fun at the rotund coach for his lack of control when it comes to eating.
They won’t be laughing soon.
Weighing 340-pounds when he was hired by the Jets in January 2009, he has reportedly gained over 30 lbs. since.
According to a report by the New York Post, Ryan’s average daily intake of 7,000 calories a day was the main culprit.
The coach is reported to be resting peacefully in his home in New Jersey.
Coach Ryan will have to consume a modified liquid diet for the next couple months while the body adjusts to the device, then he can resume eating regular meals.
A lap-band procedure is the insertion of a plastic band intended to wrap around the top of a larger stomach.
Once in place, it shrinks an enlarged stomach allowing less room for food and thus gives the user a feeling of being full.

Speight said Ryan also had a hernia repaired.
