Update: According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, LaDainian Tomlinson met with Minnesota Vikings officials last night for dinner and will visit more with the Vikings today. However, if he does leave Minnesota without a contract, Tomlinson will meet with the New York Jets on Friday. Yet, Tomlinson is enjoying his visit with the Vikings and told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that he could ‘possibly’ sign with Vikings on Thursday. He said he has “heard what I like to hear” and that one of his agents made the trip with him.
Fantasy Impact: Tomlinson has a strong chance of signing with the Vikings, as he wants to win a championship, and is willing to accept a backup role to Adrian Peterson. Tomlinson wouldn’t have the fantasy value that he has had before if he is turned into a backup in Minnesota, but if he signs with the Jets and can hold a starting role, he would be a solid number two or three running back.
