Report: Jets sign Tomlinson to two-year deal

Football Betting Lines

03/14/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Jets have reportedly inked running back LaDainian Tomlinson to a two-year deal.

Financial terms were not available, according to the New York Daily News.

The likely Hall of Fame back spent his entire nine-year career with San Diego before being released upon the opening of free agency. The Jets, meanwhile, seem to have found a replacement for Thomas Jones, who also was released for salary cap purposes.

Tomlinson will now team up in the same backfield with Shonn Greene and possibly Leon Washington, who is a restricted free agent after missing most of last season with a leg injury.

The Chargers made the former TCU star the fifth overall pick of the 2001 NFL Draft, and he has not disappointed, recording 12,490 rushing yards, 3,955 receiving yards and 153 touchdowns. He currently ranks eighth on the NFL's all-time rushing list and third all-time in touchdowns.

Despite the gaudy numbers, Tomlinson has slowed in the last two seasons. He's recorded career-lows in rushing yards for two consecutive years and ran for only 730 yards and 12 scores through 14 games in 2009. It was the first season in which Tomlinson did not crack the 1,100-yard barrier.

Tomlinson's best season landed him MVP hardware in 2006, when he ran for a career-high 1,815 rushing yards and scored 31 total touchdowns to set a league record.

He was part of a draft-day deal in 2001 with the Falcons that netted Michael Vick for Atlanta and Tomlinson and reigning Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees for the Chargers.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
