The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former New York Jets running back Thomas Jones to a two-year deal worth $5 million.
Jones hit the free agent market after the Jets decided to release him to avoid paying a roster bonus.
The running back had a very solid career with the Jets, but the team was concerned about how he wore down at the end of the season.
Jones is likely to fight for time with Jamaal Charles, and both could end up splitting carries.
The Chiefs had been also looking into signing former Oakland Raiders running back Justin Fargas.

The Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed wide receiver Chris Chambers to a three-year contract worth $15 million.
The veteran wide receiver came over in a trade with the San Diego Chargers after the start of the season.
It was an interesting deal in that it saw two teams from the same division get together to complete a trade.
Chambers led the team in receiving yards and catches and tied Dwayne Bowe in touchdown receptions.
Bowe missed four games because he was suspended for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

Former Oakland Raiders running back Justin Fargas might be seeing his old team twice a season if all things work out as expected.
Fargas, who was released after failing a physical, is expected to meet with the division rival Kansas City Chiefs about a potential contract.
The running back said he doesn’t see himself going back to Oakland, as the coaching staff told him the decision simply came down to money.
He said he was a little disappointed in the way things unfolded, saying it was coincidental he was cut for failing a physical just before he was to get a roster bonus.
There is also the possibility that Fargas could end up playing right across the Bay for the San Francisco 49ers as the backup to Frank Gore.
