The Eagles and Jets are addressing positions of need ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
Philadelphia is trading fourth-year receiver John Metchie III and a 2027 sixth-round selection to New York for nickelback Michael Carter II and a 2027 seventh-round pick, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday, per sources.
Metchie, a reserve pass-catching option for Philly, has just four catches for 18 yards in seven games played this season, his first with the Eagles. The wideout was drafted by the Texans in the second round of the 2022 draft after falling due to a torn ACL suffered in his final year at Alabama.
Carter, a reliable piece in the Jets’ secondary for five seasons, has played in five games this year, returning last week against Cincinnati after three games missed due to a concussion.
Around the NFL will have more on this trade shortly.
