The New York Jets acquired Chris Ivory from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a fourth round pick.

The Saints used the extra fourth round pick and their own pick to move up to the 82nd overall pick in a deal with the Miami Dolphins to select defensive tackle John Jenkins out of Georgia.

The Saints and Jets had been discussing an Ivory trade for more than a week.

Shonn Greene signed with the Tennessee Titans in the offseason, leaving a void at running back for the Jets.
