The Facts: The timing of Michael Vick’s visit to the Jets makes sense. They need to know quickly whether they’ll be signing Vick, because they soon will have to decide what to do with Sanchez. He’s due to receive a $2 million roster bonus next Tuesday.

Diehards Line: This means that, to avoid the payment, he’ll have to be removed from the roster by 3:59 p.m. ET on Monday. According to PFT's Mike Florio, it's quite possible that Sanchez will be the fallback option to Vick, on a reduced contract. It’s also possible (but not likely) that Sanchez will be traded. Absent a revised contract or a trade, Sanchez undoubtedly will be cut before the roster bonus becomes due. ... At that point, one could argue there are worse options available. As Florio reminded readers, Sanchez generated four road playoff wins in his first two NFL seasons, with the last one coming at New England in the divisional round. That's serious experience. ... Potentially interested teams could include the Raiders, Texans and Browns.
