Report: Sanders Visits With Jets

POSTED: 4:55 pm EST March 2, 2011 NEW YORK — Former Indianapolis Colts safety Bob Sanders is visiting Wednesday with the New York Jets, aoccording to a league source and ESPN.The free safety, who was recently released, also has made visits with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills, according to sources.Sanders played in just one game last season, leaving the Colts’ opener on the team’s first defensive series with a torn left biceps. With safety Antoine Bethea signing a four-year, $27 million contract last summer; Melvin Bullitt, Sanders’ backup, emerging as a competent starter; and the Colts still trying to sign four-time league MVP Peyton Manning to a new long-term deal, there wasn’t enough room to keep Sanders.Sanders played in 14 games in 2005, helping the Colts go 13-0 and earning the first of two Pro Bowl selections. A knee injury limited him to only four regular-season games in 2006, but when he returned for the playoffs, the Colts’ run defense improved dramatically and was a key reason they won the Super Bowl.Sanders was healthy again in 2007, playing in 15 games, earning another Pro Bowl trip and becoming the first Colts player to win the league’s top defensive award.Injuries limited Sanders to only six regular-season games in 2008.
