Jets Cancel Bailey Visit, Draft Speculation Soars

0:00It's April 21st. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything in FL. New York Jets General Manager Darren Moogie just dropped a video explaining why they canceled a top 30 visit with Texas Tech-Edger Usher, David, Bayley ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. He kept it real, saying they've already had solid talks with Bayley and figured that slot was better for another prospect. Bayley ranks as the number 7 player overall, and the second best edge guy on Bleacher reports Bigboard. Bayley balled out as a senior for the Red Raiders, racking up 14.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss over 14 games. The Jets desperately need pass rush help. They finished second to last in the league with just 26 sacks last season. Without a clear quarterback at pick number 2, grabbing a beast like Bayley lines up perfect for their needs. Fans and insiders are buzzing with reactions, especially since the Jets play these draft games close to the chest.

1:00One NFL executive called out the cancel as suspicious, wondering if it's the ultimate smoke screen to hide their real plans before drafting him. Reports are heating up two last week, Todd McShay from the ringer said in league circles, Bayley to New York feels like a done deal. CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones even floated Ohio State's Arvel Reese as a close second in that edge race. All this noise keeps the draft rumors swirling, but the Jets stay locked in on building that front seven strong. We'll see how it shakes out come draft night.
