New York Jets general manager John Idzik has not reached out to former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson’s camp yet, but there is interest. According to New York Daily News reporter Chris Johnson, the Jets like the idea of pairing Chris Ivory with Johnson and are interested in the right price.

Mehta goes on to say that any potential deal basically will come down to money.

Jets really like a potential Chris Ivory-Chris Johnson backfield tandem. Not concerned about work ethic. Will come down to $$$ #nyj
