The Rex-odus in New York has slowed, at least for a moment.

Jets tight end Dustin Keller left his free agent visit with Miami without a deal, according to Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com.

Apparently, the two sides “will stay in touch.”

Translated, there’s a difference between what the Dolphins want to pay, and what he wants.

The gulf between the tight end deals for Jared Cook (five years, $35.1 million) and Delanie Walker (four years, $17.5 million) is wide, though Keller deserves something much closer to Cook money. But Cook’s deal is so far beyond scale that it complicates things.
