The Jets made the first of what could be multiple deals before next Tuesday’s trade deadline. They agreed to send nickelback Michael Carter II and a seventh-round pick to the Eagles for wide receiver John Metchie and a sixth-rounder, a league source confirmed.
Just a few weeks ago, Michael Carter was the lead back for the Arizona Cardinals. On Monday, they released him. It's not a move anyone saw coming. The only healthy RBs remaining on the Arizona roster are Bam Knight and Emari Demercado.
The Cardinals intend to re-sign Carter in the near future, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
