This might be old news on the board but with so many threads, it's easy to miss some. Sorry if it is.

Tom Rock, of Newsday, reports unrestricted free-agent RB Corey Dillon (Patriots) said he wants to be an every-down back in 2007. The New York Jets are committed to their committee concept, which would make him an unlikely fit for the team.

To me best case scenerio is Dillon going to Baltimore or Detroit...They could probably use a bigger type RB for every down play than most teams I can think of...Minnesota and Tampa Bay possibly also in the mix.

I think they are using old quotes because I heard the agent softened Dillons stance and said while he wants more carries he doesnt expect to be a 20 carry a game back ne more. so IMO this is worthless.
