Jets OC Marty Mornhinweg says he's looking for a running back who can "make people miss (and) get the extra yard."

Mornhinweg is describing Chris Ivory to a T, who has the elusiveness to get around the edge, and power to break tackles once he gets there. The Jets are clearly excited about their new feature runner, but Ivory could spoil the party if he fails to stay healthy, which he's often done. Ivory has RB1 upside, but he should be drafted as your RB2.

New Jets OC Marty Mornhinweg's offenses have ranked in the top ten in yards-per-carry average eight times in Mornhinweg's 13 seasons as an NFL head coach or offensive coordinator.

The Jets are trying to get more athletic on the O-Line because Mornhinweg loves outside runs. "We're putting in more perimeter runs which has been Marty's thing, get some speed out there," coach Rex Ryan explained. "... We're pulling those guys and I think we are more athletic, especially at that guard spot." New feature back Chris Ivory has plenty of speed to beat linebackers to the edge.

Jets signed RB Chris Ivory to a three-year contract.

Ivory turned 25 last month, so the three-year deal keeps him under the Jets' control through his age-27 season. He'll be eligible to enter free agency at 28, giving Ivory a chance at another significant contract should he capitalize on the opportunity in New York. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears the agreement is worth about $3 million annually. If so, it's a good deal for both sides.

The Jets are expected to sign Chris Ivory to a "long-term" contract after trading for him on Friday.

Ivory is only under contract through 2013 at $2.023 million. Rookie GM John Idzik would be savvy to lock up Ivory through about his age-29 season -- he just turned 25 -- at a team-friendly rate. The sides figure to use Ivory's 2013 salary as a starting point in annual average. The new deal won't be expensive.

Jets acquired RB Chris Ivory from the Saints in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.

Ivory, 25, has rushed 256 times for 1,307 yards (5.1 YPC) and eight touchdowns in his four-year NFL career while being criminally underutilized in the Saints' pass-happy offense. A ferociously physical runner with eye-popping lower-body explosion, Ivory should have no trouble beating out Mike Goodson for the Jets' starting job as rookie GM John Idzik's new Marshawn Lynch. (Idzik came from Seattle's front office.) Goodson now projects as the Jets' third-down back. Ivory will be a high-upside fantasy pick this season. He'll warrant consideration beginning in the third round of drafts.
