L.T. leaves New York unsigned


Associated Press

— NEW YORK — LaDainian Tomlinson flew home to San Diego on Saturday to consider his options after spending a day with the New York Jets and leaving without a deal.

The free agent — the eighth-leading rusher in NFL history — was on a flight Saturday morning after his visit.

He arrived in New Jersey on Thursday night after meeting with the Minnesota Vikings and spent Friday touring the Jets’ facility in Florham Park. He then had dinner with coach Rex Ryan, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and other team officials, who tried to persuade him to join an offense ranked No. 1 in rushing last season.

It was uncertain if Tomlinson would decide between the Jets and Vikings or visit other teams. He has not commented on his plans or visits with the Jets and Vikings.

The QB’s agent, Rick Smith confirmed Delhomme’s agreement with the Browns, who have been busy trying to fix a troublesome position. Delhomme,35, was released last week after seven seasons with the Carolina Panthers.
