RB Kalen Ballage on Thursday, Aug. 27, was acquired by the New York Jets in a trade with the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a conditional late-round draft pick, according to a source.

Footballguys View: Ballage is reunited with former Dolphins head coach Adam Gase. He’s a big-bodied back but doesn’t run with authority like most big backs do. Instead, Ballage uses his elusiveness to create space for himself. He can be used as a receiver out of the backfield as well. Ballage is facing an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster behind Le’Veon Bell, Frank Gore and La’Mical Perine.
