The Jets have added another former Dolphin to their running back room. New York traded a conditional late-round pick to Miami for Kalen Ballage on Thursday, according to multiple reports. .
The Dolphins were planning to release Ballage, but the Jets swooped in with the opportunity for Miami to possibly get something in return for the running back.
The Arizona State product did little for Miami last year, rushing for 135 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games.
However, Ballage proved useful over limited looks as a rookie when Adam Gase was still the Dolphins’ head coach.
Ballage, who also has some experience returning punts, is likely a longshot to make the Jets’ 53-man roster.
With Le’Veon Bell, Frank Gore and La’Mical Perine all locks to make the team, there’s not much room in New York’s backfield
