LaDainian Tomlinson Will Reportedly Be A New York Jet (Update)

UPDATE: Since posting this story, Kevin Acee has tweeted that LT doesn't know where he's headed yet:

LT just told me he doesn't know where he's going yet. That means he hasn't "officially" made up his mind

Ex-Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson seemed to be mulling offers from the Vikings and Jets this weekend. On Sunday, according to a source of Sign On San Diego's Kevin Acee, LT has made his decision.

According to three people with knowledge of the process, Tomlinson has decided to become a New York Jet.

"It's 100 percent," one source said. "Done deal."

Tomlinson is expected to announce the decision today or tomorrow.

However, one source cautioned late Saturday night that a decision has not yet been officialy made.

Tomlinson, a nine-year veteran, will be 31 years old next season. His numbers have declined in recent years (5.2 yards per carry in 2006, 4.7 in 2007, 3.8 in 2008, and 3.3 in 2009). After waving goodbye to Thomas Jones, though, the Jets evidently believe he's still a serviceable back.

It shouldn't even need to be mentioned that Tomlinson was the premier back of the 2000s.
