Free agent Jennings expects to sign before season begins

Rashad Jennings is done dancing on TV and he's ready to start dancing through some holes.

The free-agent running back spent the offseason competing on and winning "Dancing With the Stars." Now that training camp and the regular season are approaching, he's turning his focus back to football.

Jennings was released by the New York Giants in February after three seasons. During his time in the Big Apple, he was handed the lead running back role, but failed to translate the opportunity into success. He's now hoping to latch on with another team.

"I feel like I'll be landing with a team in the next two months," Jennings said to Damien Sordelett of The News and Advance. "But right now I feel I'm in such a peaceful place in my life, though, from transitioning to another team, transitioning to other things outside of football, doing all the philanthropic work that I do. I'm just in a peaceful place."

Jennings played in 13 games last season, starting 12, and racked up 593 yards and three touchdowns. The season prior he started all 16 games, collecting a career-high 863 yards.
