Rumor - Jets interested in RB C. Dillon

Rumor - Jets interested in RB C. Dillon
If Dillon is healthy this is a no-brainer. The injury to starting RB T. Jones is very tough to predict.
If true, the rumored interest in Dillon is an indicator of concern about the nature of the injury. The team might be concerned about the risk of intermittent flares that will reduce performance level and possibly result in missed games.
The Jets are wise to be shopping for insurance. L. Washington will break down if forced to be the every down, 20+ carries per game back. C. Dillon may be getting old, but he may have another year left in the tank as a stop-gap RB behind T. Jones. The only other option to acquire a talent superior to Dillon is likely via a trade (Does anyone want LB J. Vilma?).
