New Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson joined the show to talk about his decision to go to New York over Minnesota.
Dan asked if Brett Favre was definitely going back to Minnesota, what would have happened? "I would have still went to New York," Tomlinson said. "At the end of the day, even though Favre hasn't said he's coming back, you just don't know for sure."
Tomlinson explained why he chose the Jets. "With the Jets, I know the offense," Tomlinson said. "I know Brian Schottenheimer. I enjoy being around Rex Ryan. So it was just a better fit.
L.T. said this wasn't about money. "I could have taken more money to go to Minnesota," Tomlinson said.
Dan asked if Tomlinson expects to be the starter Week 1. "I'm not going in there with any idea of whether I'm going to the best starter or anything like that," Tomlinson said.
Tomlinson said that he no longer fit with the Chargers because they changed their style of play.
Dan asked what other teams besides the Vikings and the Jets talked to him. L.T. wouldn't say, but he did say it wasn't the Redskins or Patriots. He said would have never gone to Oakland. But he said that Denver was an option. |
