Jets Cancel David Bailey Visit, Clouding No. 2 Pick Plans

The scrapped meeting leaves Bailey’s status as the perceived Jets favorite under fresh scrutiny.

Overview

  • SNY’s Connor Hughes reported the Jets canceled a scheduled top-30 visit with Texas Tech pass rusher David Bailey.
  • ESPN’s Rich Cimini urged caution on the meaning, noting teams often use these visits to resolve medical or interview gaps and that Jets officials already met Bailey at his Pro Day.
  • Pro Football Rumors outlined rival readings of the move, including that it could signal disinterest, completed homework, or a smokescreen meant to spark trade calls.
  • Despite the ambiguity, Todd McShay and Peter Schrager still project Bailey to New York at No. 2 based on elite production and the Jets’ need for immediate pass-rush help.
  • The broader setup points to Bailey being available with the Raiders expected to take QB Fernando Mendoza first, and Newsweek reported the Cowboys as a potential trade-up partner if the Jets move down.
