The Jets lost a bell-cow running back when Chris Ivory took the money and ran to Jacksonville.
But they filled that hole with an experienced guy today.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Jets are signing former Bears running back Matt Forte.
The Bears let the 30-year-old Forte walk, though his numbers last year didn’t indicate a precipitous drop-off.
Forte had 898 yards rushing and 389 yards receiving and seven total touchdowns last year, in 13 games.
He might be a bit of a stop-gap, but he’s an accomplished runner who will keep them from missing Ivory all that much.
