Jets could be saving up for a run at Chris Johnson

The Jets — or perhaps it’s just General Manager John Idzik — have seemed reluctant to dive into the DeSean Jackson derby.

Maybe it’s because they’ve targeted another potential game-breaker.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network suggests the Jets may be saving their money for a run at soon-to-be-former Titans running back Chris Johnson.

The draw for a run-first head coach like Rex Ryan to add a player such as Johnson is reasonable, though the Jets are much deeper at running back than they are at wide receiver. That is also true of most positions on their roster.

Rapoport describes the Jets as having “some interest,” so it might not have traction.

But at a time when teams are lining up to run away from the mention of Johnson, having some interest might be enough.
