Jets Acquire Barlow

[YANKS]

The New York Jets once again have traded for a running back. They hope this one can pass a physical.

The Jets on Sunday acquired running back Kevan Barlow from the San Francisco 49ers for an undisclosed 2007 draft pick.

The trade is contingent on Barlow's passing a physical. On Monday, the Jets had acquired Lee Suggs form the Cleveland Browns for cornerback Derrick Strait, but the running back failed his physical, voiding the deal.

As long as it was a later round draft pick, I am okay with this trade. But, I would have rather seen the Jets look more into acquiring a running back such as T.J. Duckett.

Just a temporary stop-gap move for the Jets, and an average one at that. Really doesn't address the issue of RB of the future for New York, since Barlow really isn't the answer.
