It just isn't Ray Lewis.

Bart Scott, who played alongside Lewis as a Ravens starter the past four seasons, is headed to New York for a visit today with Jets officials, a source confirmed to FOXSports.com.

A signing would reunite Scott with new Jets coach Rex Ryan, his former defensive coordinator in Baltimore. Scott would play inside linebacker in New York's 3-4 defense.

Lewis has publicly expressed interest in playing for the Jets if unable to re-sign with Baltimore. Scott, though, is five years younger and may have more long-term upside than the 33-year-old Lewis.

Meanwhile, Ravens center Jason Brown is set to visit today with St. Louis, FOXSports.com has learned.

The 6-foot-3, 320-pound Brown is considered the top interior lineman in this year's free-agent class. He was moved from guard to center in 2008 and started every game for a second consecutive season. Brown also is only 25 years old.

Offensive line is considered the weakest position group for the Rams, which finished with a 2-14 record in 2008.
