NEW YORK (AP) -Jets running back Leon Washington has returned to the team after boycotting practice the last three weeks while in a contract dispute.
Washington, selected for his first Pro Bowl last season as a kick returner, was back on the field Monday to start New York’s final week of organized team activities. Agent Alvin Keels wrote on his Twitter page that Washington returned “while we continue to work on a contract extension for him. A move of good faith.”
Washington is due to earn $535,000 this season, the final year of his rookie deal. He’s believed to be looking for about $6 million a year, similar to deals that Jacksonville’s Maurice Jones-Drew and San Diego’s Darren Sproles – players he’s often compared to – have received.
