LaDainian Tomlinson said Tuesday the reason he signed with the Jets over the Vikings was based on his familiarity of the offense in New York. It also helped that in Minnesota he would play behind Adrian Peterson, but with the Jets he will likely see more carries in a shared situation with Shonn Greene. "Well yeah, I thought I may have an opportunity to get more touches with the Jets," Tomlinson said in a conference call. He also addressed several other topics about his future with the Jets in 2010. On his conditioning and wear-and-tear despite being 31: "I feel great. I've been working out for 3-4 weeks already. I will be in New York to start with the offseason program. I'm ready to go." On what he expects his role to be with Greene and Leon Washington: "They didn't sell me a dream or anything like that. The way I approached the situation is like I was going to college. You have to fit in and find a role on the team. I don't expect anything to be given to me. Where I can fit in, I'll fit in." And on playing behind the Jets offensive line: "This is my type of football. I've always had an aggressive style of running the football and taking pride in running the football and wearing people down. I'm very excited about that. It's a great opportunity. We can do something special with the guys we have in that backfield. I'm looking forward to working with them."

That means the quarterbacks on the roster -- Ryan Fitzpatrick, Trent Edwards and Brian Brohm -- will each have the chance to get under center and lead the first-team offense. "Unless something different happens between and now and post-draft, to me it's an open competition for the job to see what happens," Gailey said. "We've got some guys that obviously have played well at times and some guys that are unproven that we don't know, but were well regarded coming out. So to me we've got to see who can rise to the top."
