Chris Johnson has signed with the New York Jets on a two-year deal worth up to $9 million.

The base value of Johnson's deal is $8 million and includes another $1 million in incentives.

"I've always been a big fan of the Jets," Johnson told the team's official website. "There was some thought into this, but just at the end of the day, I was comfortable here. I just felt like it was the right situation."

Johnson averaged just 3.9 yards per carry in 2013.
