Will Josh Allen visit the Jets at their Florham Park facility, or won’t he? There are conflicting reports on that front, as we heard from Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News and Ian Rapoport of NFL.com earlier this week that Allen would indeed be making the trek to New Jersey, but last night Rich Cimini of ESPN.com suggested that would not be the case.
However, Mehta tweeted this morning that Allen will, in fact, meet with the Jets at Florham Park, so we still do not really know if the two sides will summit again. The Jets did recently go to Wyoming to have a private workout with Allen, so it could be that they have enough intel on the signal-caller to make an informed decision. After all, as of last season, the Jets were believed to have done more work on Allen than any other club.
At the very least, New York may not be considering Sam Darnold as strongly as Allen, Baker Mayfield, and Josh Rosen. The Jets are not planning to meet privately with the USC product, either at their facility or elsewhere. They did attend Darnold’s Pro Day, and GM Mike Maccagnan was in attendance when Darnold’s Trojans battled Rosen’s Bruins in November, but they may not view him as highly as the other three top prospects (though they could just believe Darnold will be off the board by the time they are on the clock with the No. 3 overall selection and do not want to waste their time).
And although the Jets do plan to meet with Rosen, there has been more buzz connecting Gang Green to Mayfield and Allen than the UCLA QB. Mayfield is slated to meet with the Giants today and tomorrow before heading off for his visit with the Jets immediately thereafter.
It links the wrong Josh Allen
Mayfield to the Jets is a ruse. Bowles may like him but it’s Jeremy Bates who has to work with him. Bates would be a good coach for Rosen not Mayfield. Mayfield is a warm weather or dome quarterback. He may be the next Drew Brees but not in the elements of New York. Assuming Darnold is gone it will be Rosen or Allen or whoever is left of the two.
Personally i think if its down to Mayfield and Allen the Jets will go Mayfield. Allen seems like too bug of a project to work on. However, i do think they choose Rosen over Mayfield but its obviously no guarantee Rosen will still be on the board by 3

With the third pick in the NFL draft the NYJ trade the pick to Seattle Seahawks for Russell Wilson. Tell Maccagnan
