NEW YORK (AP)—The New York Jets signed third-round draft pick Shonn Greene(notes) on Monday to a four-year deal that includes a $905,000 signing bonus.
The bulldozing running back out of Iowa was the first player taken on the second day of the draft after the Jets traded up with Detroit to select him. Greene rushed for a school-record 1,850 yards and 20 touchdowns last season, and was selected the Big Ten’s offensive player of the year.

That really puts a lot more pressure on Jones and Washington.
