The New York Jets are interested in trading for New Orleans Saints running back Chris Ivory, according to league sources.

Ivory was the odd-man out in New Orleans' crowded backfield last season, but still received a second-round tender, which would be a one-year, $2.023 million contract.

The Jets have no intention of surrendering their second-round pick for a player who rushed for only 217 yards last season, but they're willing to part with a late-round pick.
