Report: Jets claim former Seahawks safety Dion Bailey

RENTON – Dion Bailey began the season as Seattle’s starting strong safety. Three weeks, one forgettable blunder and a pair of transactions later, he’s now reportedly with another team.

Bailey was claimed Monday by the Jets, according to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports.

The Seahawks waived Bailey on Saturday because they needed to make room on their roster for Kam Chancellor, who returned a few days prior from his holdout. Bailey had started during the preseason and in Seattle’s Week-1 loss to St. Louis, when he fell down in coverage and allowed the Rams to score a tying touchdown in the fourth quarter to force overtime.

To make room for Bailey, the Jets waived another Seahawks castoff they had in their secondary in Ronald Martin, an undrafted rookie safety who was with Seattle until final roster cutdowns.
