Gay visiting Jets

The Boston Globe is reporting today that restricted free agent cornerback Randall Gay is visiting the New York Jets today.

The Patriots tendered Gay, who has missed significant amounts of time due to injury the past two seasons, at the second-round level. Should the Jets -- or any other team -- make Gay an offer, the Pats have seven days to match it. If they do not and Gay goes to another team, that team would send New England its second-round draft pick in this month's draft.

The Patriots currently do not have a second-round selection, having sent theirs to Miami as part of the Wes Welker deal.

As part of his tender, Gay would receive $1.3 million from the Pats this season if he stays, or if the sides do not work out a longer-term deal. The third-year pro, who started in Super Bowl XXXIX as a rookie, has not yet signed the tender.
