THE JETS HAVE TO HIRE VICK THIS WEEKEND OR PAY SANCHEZ ON MONDAY HIS CONTRACT.-- VICK IS IN NY TODAY AT JETS With Mark Sanchezs days in town apparently numbered, the New York Jets are scheduled to meet Friday with free-agent quarterback Michael Vick, a source confirmed. The Jets are looking for an experienced quarterback to mentor and compete with Geno Smith, and they have an interest in Vick because offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg spent four seasons as his coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Jets are battling a deadline because Sanchez is due a $2 million roster bonus on March 25. If they sign Vick over the weekend, they almost certainly would release Sanchez, who has a $13.1 million cap charge. If the Jets fail to land Vick, theyd be in a tough situation. They could ask Sanchez to take a significant pay cut, although the feeling around the league is that theyd simply release the former starter. Michael Vick reportedly will meet with the Jets this weekend, his first visit of the free-agency period. Vick hasnt generated much interest on the open market even though hes considered by many the top free-agent quarterback. He has been linked to the Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills, but the Jets will be his first visit.
