The Jets and Eagles swapped fringe roster players and draft picks on Wednesday afternoon, noti.group’s Brian Costello confirmed.
The Jets sent cornerback Michael Carter II and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Eagles for wide receiver John Metchie III and a 2027 sixth-round draft pick.
Metchie, a former second-round pick of the Texans, had four catches for 18 yards in seven games this season for Philadelphia.
He joins a banged-up receivers room that includes top target Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds dealing with injuries as they enter their Week 9 bye.
Metchie had 40 catches and one touchdown in his two seasons in Houston before being traded to the Eagles this offseason.
He could see action beginning in Week 10 against the Browns.
Carter, a fifth-round pick of the Jets in 2021, had returned to action last week after missing three games with a concussion.
He had two years remaining on a three-year extension he signed in 2024, but removed a $5 million injury guarantee for 2026 as part of the move.
