Tomlinson, who was recently released after nine seasons with the San Diego Chargers, had visited several potential teams before choosing the Jets in a two-year contract worth slightly more than $5 million, the New York Times reported.

The 30-year-old will boost a Jets team that reached the AFC championship game last season and was the top-ranked rushing team in the league.

The Jets recently released long time running back Thomas Jones(notes) and Tomlinson join second year running back Shonn Greene(notes) in the back field.

Tomlinson rushed for 12,490 yards and 153 touchdowns, won two rushing titles and was named the NFL MVP in 2006 while with the Chargers.
