Jets sign running backs Matt Forte and Khiry Robinson

NEW YORK — The New York Jets' backfield makeover is in motion.

The Jets announced Thursday night that they signed free-agent running backs Matt Forte and Khiry Robinson. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press that the Jets also agreed in principle to re-sign running back Bilal Powell.

Financial terms weren't immediately disclosed, but it is a three-year deal for Forte and one year for Robinson. As for Powell, it's also a three-year contract, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the Jets had not announced the signing.
