Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Daily News staffer Manish Mehta notes, the Saints tendered Ivory at the second-round level (1 year, $2 million) earlier this offseason, so the Jets would have to forfeit their second rounder (No. 39 overall) in the draft later this month if they sign him to an offer sheet and the Saints decline to match. The Saints would have five days to match the offer sheet or simply take the Jets’ second-round pick. However, Mehta has learned that the Jets are not going to give up their second-round pick with so many holes to fill on their roster. The Jets will make the Saints an offer for lower draft pick compensation in a trade for Ivory, according to Mehta. ... Ivory, 25, has a 5.1 yards-per-carry average in limited action in his three-year career. The 6-0, 226-pound running back has eight career touchdowns in 24 games. He has rushed for 1,307 yards in 256 carries in his career
