The Jets are showing interest in free-agent running back Roy Helu, the New York Post reports.
Helu spent his first four seasons with the Redskins, who are "probably" out of the running to sign the free agent, ESPN.com reports.
Helu has proven to be an asset in the passing game during his career, and he caught 42 passes for a career-high 477 receiving yards in 2014. He's also averaged 4.4 yards per carry on 255 attempts over four seasons.
