We wrote about Santos coming in for a visit earlier today.
The Jets, who need a cheap veteran depth at inside linebacker, also reportedly hosted someone for that role today:
Former Chiefs LB Kevin Pierre-Louis visited the Jets today, per source.

Pierre-Louis, a 26-year old former fourth round pick, has been a rotational reserve and special teams contributor throughout his career. However, he saw more playing time in 2017 than in his previous three seasons and posted a career high 41 tackles. He has 84 career tackles and three passes defensed but no interceptions, sacks or forced fumbles.
The Jets also official announced the Isaiah Crowell signing.
