Performance Insights
Michael Carter has been with the Jets since he was selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has played a total of 65 games, primarily in the slot position. This season, he has made 14 tackles. With Carter’s departure, there may be increased opportunities for Cooper DeJean to play more on the outside for the remainder of the season.
On the other hand, John Metchie, acquired by the Eagles from the Texans in August, has had a limited impact. He recorded four catches for 18 yards in seven games with Philadelphia. Previously, while with Houston, Metchie had a more productive season with 40 receptions for 412 yards and one touchdown during his 2022 season, where he was selected in the second round.
This trade reflects the ongoing strategies of both teams to enhance their rosters ahead of the upcoming season.
