Jets land Chris Johnson with two-year deal

The deal looked likely when he made his first trip, and spent the night.

And now Chris Johnson is a Jet.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Jets have agreed to terms with the former Titans running back on a two-year deal.

He adds an explosive element to the offense for a team that sorely needs them (though they still need them in the passing game).

The short deal gives the 28-year-old back a chance to re-establish himself, with perhaps a chance at another deal.

With Chris Johnson (Jets) and Josh Freeman (Giants) reaching contract agreements Wednesday, only six unrestricted/released free agents ranked in PFT’s Free Agent Hot 100 remain without a team for 2014.

Two other free agents can be signed away for draft-pick compensation: Saints tight end Jimmy Graham (franchise tag) and Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (restricted free agent). Both have been tendered contract offers by their current clubs and seem likely to stay put.

Here are the remaining unsigned players in PFT’s free agent rankings:

UNRESTRICTED/RELEASED FREE AGENTS

67. Cowboys defensive end/outside linebacker Anthony Spencer.

74. Packers tight end Jermichael Finley.

81. Seahawks outside linebacker O’Brien Schofield.

89. Ex-Buccaneers offensive guard Davin Joseph.

97. Ex-Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes.

102. Panthers offensive guard Travelle Wharton. ***

*** — Has reportedly indicated he could retire.

FRANCHISE TAG RECIPIENT

2. Saints tight end Jimmy Graham.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENT

82. Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin.
