NEW YORK (AP) — LaDainian Tomlinson says the tension between New York Jets players that fractured the locker room this season was “as bad as I’ve ever been around, honestly.”
In an interview with Showtime’s “Inside The NFL” airing Wednesday night, the running back says the turmoil started in the third or fourth week and “got out of hand toward the end of the season.” Tomlinson adds that quarterback Mark Sanchez and wide receiver Santonio Holmes, in particular, had a rocky relationship.
Holmes was benched during the season finale at Miami after arguing in the huddle with teammates. Tomlinson says the tensions escalated to the point where the players couldn’t do anything about it.
He adds that the problems “absolutely” can be fixed, but the Jets need “to make some tough decisions.”
