The team is intrigued by the potential backfield tandem of Chris Ivory and Chris Johnson, who was officially released by the Tennessee Titans on Monday.The Jets have no concerns about Johnson’s work ethic, which was called into question in a report by the Tennessean newspaper over the weekend. Johnson, 28, has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his six seasons in the NFL.
