News: LaDainian on his way to New York

brees lt 2004 News: LaDainian on his way to New York

Bassett reported earlier today that LT would be visiting the Jets facilities if he couldn’t come to an agreement with the Vikings. And after spending several hours at the Vikings facilities, the AP reports that LT is making his way to New York after no agreement could be reached between the Vikings and LT.

However Jim Trotter pointed out that LT was “wowed” by the Vikings and said the Jets would have to “bring it” if they truly wanted Tomlinson in Green and White.

AP: LaDainian Tomlinson has left the Minnesota Vikings facility without a deal in place and is on his way to New York to visit the Jets.

A person with knowledge of the negotiations tells The Associated Press that the star running back spent several hours at Vikings headquarters Thursday, but did not reach agreement on a contract. The person requested anonymity because negotiations were ongoing.

Trotter: Trotter says that, if the Jets really want Tomlinson, “they’ll have to bring it.”  L.T. told Trotter that the Vikings “really wowed him,” and that he “could see himself playing there.”

It would not surprise me if Tanny took a hard look at Tomlinson. Obviously he can’t be an every down back anymore but I don’t think the Jets can afford to hand the entire backfield to Shonn Greene just yet after all he only saw a lot of time towards the end of the season so he had plenty of rest before hand. You know Tanny always looking to make a splash and I would not be surprised to see “Trader” Mike pull some strings to bring in Tomlinson (though I believe the Jets should look at the other options available).
