Hempstead, NY - The Jets had three free agents in to visit their facility yesterday and meet the staff. Among them were Andre Dyson, cornerback, from Tennessee, Khalid Abdullah, linebacker, from Cincinnati and Chike Okeafor, defensive end, from Seattle.

Of the group Dyson is the player who would be a big signing. Dyson is seeking a deal believed to be 4 years, $14 million. Dyson is a solid all around player that would immediately upgrade the Jets secondary. With many team already signing cornerbacks in the first two days the Jets were excited to talk with Dyson. Dyson's agent informed the Jets that he is moving along slowly and meeting with many interested teams to hear them out.

Abdullah is a player that is a natural weak side linebacker. This would allow the Jets to have depth at the linebacker position and possibly set up Vilma to compete with Cowart for playing time at middle linebacker.

Okeafor played the past two seasons with the Seahawks and is looking to move on. The problem could be that Okeafor has played right end, just like John Abraham. Okeafor did seem concern that he would be brought in and asked to possibly move. But Okeafor likes the idea of playing on the big stage in New York and on the east coast for the first time in his career.

It is believed that the Jets will present an offer to Abdullah as early as tomorrow, but will have to wait to see if Dyson is ready to field offers and if Okeafor could work along with Abraham.
