As the Jets wonder what they’ll do at quarterback, they don’t have to worry about the running back position.
They have three under contract, all signed in the last day or so. And two of the running backs have relatively comparable deals.
Via Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, veteran Matt Forte inked a three-year, $12 million deal, with $8 million guaranteed. Forte also can earn another $4 million in escalators.
Bilal Powell (pictured), per a league source, signed a deal with a value of $11.25 million over three years, with $6 million guaranteed at signing. He can earn another $2.25 million in escalators.
The low man on the totem pole is Khiry Robinson, who received a one-year, $1.175 million deal with $80,000 guaranteed.
So they’re set at running back. Now if they can only figure out who they’ll have a quarterback, they should be in good shape.
