TRADE: The Eagles are sending WR John Metchie and a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Jets for CB Michael Carter II and a 2027 seventh-round pick, sources say.

Neat
Mike has had one of the most brutal player fall-offs I’ve seen, no idea who John Metchie is but Mougey honestly fleeced to even get a 6th/7th round pick swap for 2025 MCII. Good night sweet prince, we’ll always have your 2023 lockdown season 😢
Oooo I like this
It’s a good move honestly.
Carter wasn’t a fit in Glenn’s majority man scheme. His strength is zone which was Salehs base.
cap implications?
Thank you and good luck MCII
I don’t know if I love the Metchie piece but trading Carter isn’t the worst idea.
I’m a fan of metchie going back to college so that plus the trade swap seems like a solid deal
He’s probably gonna ball out under Fangio
Metchie is the kid that had leukemia right?
Feels like this trade could end up being a win-win
That contract was backloaded. He is due $12.25 the next 2 seasons. I’m surprised the Eagles took that on. Hopefully it works out for everyone.
MCII was a solid jet. Hope he does well. Brownlee has been making places and his replacement. All is well
Assuming MC2 had no path back to snaps, this is a great deal. Move up a round, dump MC2s contract, and take a flier on a once solid WR prospect with no strings attached
That guy hasn’t been good all year, definitely a good deal.
I honestly like this. Carter is having a down year and we have other guys who can play the position and we need help at WR. Is Metchie going to be a WR2? Probably not but worth a shot
I am OK with this trade. It doesn’t knock my socks off, but I think it’s a positive.
With Thomas and Brownlee fast emerging, there was little likelihood that they were gonna re-up Carter anyway.
Any wide receivers an upgrade, considering how ridiculously thin we were before all the injuries so… 👍🏼
Shocked the Eagles took on that contract
Good trade for us I think. Probably good trade for both sides this one.
Think the jets save $8M in cap next yr by dealin him
God, I loved John Metchie when he was in the draft. Unfortunately, things haven’t exactly worked out for him. He had about the most unlucky start to anybody who has ever been in the league. If you can somehow figure it out and be even close to what he was in college. The dude ceiling is insanely high. Unfortunately, he hasn’t really figured it out but he’s had a lot of competition.
From two of them to zero: end of the Michael Carter era in New York
Happy about this. Just getting out of Carter’s contract is enough. Pick swap and an interesting reclamation project who’s never gotten a real fair chance on top of that. Great job.
Sometimes a new start is all a player needs
To think we used to have two Michael carters
Sounds like a good trade but Carter was great for us and I’d be happy if it were a win win for Carter’s sake. At least he’ll be involved in meaningful games!
