In what will likely be one of the last free agents visits to take place before a potential work stoppage, safety Bob Sanders will visit the Jets on Wednesday according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Sanders has already visited the Jaguars and Bills. Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said Sanders passed his physical in Jacksonville and spoke glowingly of him, but deferred to G.M. Gene Smith when asked for the chances of Sanders signing in Jacksonville.

It would be a surprise if Sanders signs before Friday, but he would fit the Jets’ profile of hungry veterans on the backside of their careers.

The Jets have a big need at safety. Eric Smith, Brodney Pool, and James Ihedibgo are headed for free agency.
