Article:Jets Continue Free Agent Raid, Sign RB Jessie Chatman

Mike Tannenbaum has continued his shopping spree this offseason, yesterday signing RB Jesse Chatman from the Miami Dolphins. His signing will add depth to the running back position where they already have Thomas Jones and Leon Washington.

After being out of football in 2006, Jesse Chatman ran for a career high 515 yards in 2007, becoming the starter in week 7 after Ronnie Brown went down with a season ending injury. He reportedly chose the Jets due to his past relationship with some of the coaches. He previously played for offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer while they both were on the Chargers.
