Jets Team Report
(Sat, 20 Mar 2010 11:56:53 PDT)
LaDainian Tomlinson has heard all of the critics who say that signing him was the Jets' version of March madness. And he believes he can prove them wrong.
"I have to prove to people where I am at this point in my career that I can still play this game, and I'm very confident I can," said Tomlinson, who spoke with reporters on a conference call two days after the Jets signed him to a two-year, $5.1 million deal to back up second-year running back Shonn Greene.
Tomlinson was signed nine days after the Jets released Thomas Jones, who rushed for a career-high 1,402 yards last season. Jones subsequently signed with Kansas City for $5 million over two years. He was owed $5.8 million by the Jets in 2010, a $3 million roster bonus and a $2.8 million base salary.
