The Facts:
Heap is in town to visit the Jets facility in Florham Park on Sunday. The 6-5, 247-pound Heap was cut by the Ravens last week as part of several salary cap-saving moves. Heap played on the Ravens for eight seasons while Rex Ryan was on the Baltimore coaching staff.

According to Daily News staffer Manish Mehta, Ryan rolled out the red carpet for the veteran tight end by picking him up at airport Saturday night. Ryan grabbed Heap in a bear hug before driving off in a SUV. The Jets haven’t made an offer to the veteran tight end yet. But the 31-year-old Heap, who had 40 receptions for 599 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games last season, would be an intriguing option alongside Dustin Keller. It's worth noting the Jets know first-hand how well the Patriots’ two-headed tight end monster of Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski worked last season.
