Jets’ Top Trade Chip Shifts to CB Michael Carter II, Not Breece Hall

Rapoport points to the injured nickel as the most plausible move before the Nov. 4 deadline.

Overview

  • Ian Rapoport reports the Jets are likelier to deal cornerback Michael Carter II than Breece Hall, with Jermaine Johnson II also referenced as a possible piece.
  • New York is 0-6 and widely viewed as a seller as the NFL trade deadline approaches on Nov. 4.
  • Carter is in concussion protocol and was ruled out for Week 7, a factor that could delay substantive trade discussions.
  • The 26-year-old signed a multi-year extension in 2024 that runs through 2027 with a 2026 exit mechanism, offering short-term control on modest cap hits for a buyer.
  • Teams seeking cornerback help are seen as potential suitors, with the Eagles highlighted as a plausible fit in current reporting.
