JETS GET A RB

The New York Jets acquired running back Kevan Barlow from the San Francisco 49ers today for an undisclosed draft pick in 2007, their second attempt in a week to shore up the position. The deal is contingent on Barlow passing a physical. "We have been impressed with Kevan's production in both the running and passing game," Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said. "We feel Kevan will complement our running back group, and he will come in and compete for playing time." "The 6-foot-1, 234-pound Barlow has 3,614 yards and 24 touchdowns in his career. "This is a great opportunity for Kevan because of New York's need at running back," 49ers coach Mike Nolan said. "Kevan has been committed to our program and done well. With the depth at running back we felt we could make this move."
