N.F.L. ROUNDUP; Tomlinson Spends Day With Jets
Running back LaDainian Tomlinson followed a full day of meetings with Jets officials with dinner Friday night with Coach Rex Ryan and General Manager Mike Tannenbaum.

Tomlinson to Visit Jets, Who Have an Opening
When the Jets released Thomas Jones after he declined to take a pay cut, the prevailing analysis was that he might have slowed at the end of last season. But the Jets lost an experienced veteran who was a tremendous presence in the locker room. Might they be trying to lure someone like Jones to replace him? How about LaDainian Tomlinson, the former Charger and future Hall of Famer who rushed for more than a 1,000 yards a season from 2001 to 2008? Tomlinson, who was clearly diminished in 2009 (a...

N.F.L. ROUNDUP; Jets to Cut Jones, Latest Unemployed Running Back
The Jets announced Monday that they would release running back Thomas Jones when free agency begins Friday. The move seemed inevitable once it became clear that Jones, who will turn 32 before the start of the 2010 season, would not restructure his contract to save the Jets a $3 million roster bonus due next week. Jones rushed for a career-high 1,402 yards in 2009, carrying the burden for an offense trying to insulate the rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez during the Jets' unexpected run to the Ame...

N.F.L. ROUNDUP; Jets Fine Ryan $50,000 for Making Obscene Gesture
The Jets fined Coach Rex Ryan $50,000 on Tuesday for the obscene gesture he made last weekend at a mixed martial arts competition in Sunrise, Fla. This fine does not preclude the N.F.L. from also penalizing Ryan under its personal-conduct policy, but it does make that less likely.
