Jets Sign Chatman


Palm Beach Post:

Running back Jesse Chatman won’t be back with the Dolphins. He has signed a one-year contract to play with the AFC East rival Jets. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.
Chatman visited the Jets last week and felt at home with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, whom he worked with in San Diego.


A few things I understand about this deal:
  1. It is most likely for the league minimum
  2. It was to add depth to the running back situation
  3. If Darren McFadden falls to them it WILL NOT effect if they draft him
Solid pickup, it's always good to have depth (i.e. see the Giants last year) and veteran presence is always good. If McFadden falls HAVE TO take him, the guy is a stud.

The Jets are also talking to the Bronco's defensive back Domonique Foxworth who is a restricted free agent. To sign him would cost a 3rd round pick, but there is a chance of some kind of trade seeing as the Broncos are looking for a defensive tackle *cough* Dewayne Robertson*cough*
