Monday Notes: Jets Agree to Terms with Bruce Carter, Announce Jenkins Signing

After re-signing Erin Henderson the Jets wasted little time by adding middle linebacker Bruce Carter to the mix. Carter has agreed to terms on a one-year deal believed to be around the veteran minimum. Carter joins David Harris and Erin Henderson at the middle linebacker position, and will be a candidate for sub packages. It will most likely be David Harris and Erin Henderson as the two starting middle linebackers in the Jets’ base 3-4 defense. Carter is more suited to be a third down rotational player as he excels in coverage. After being drafted 40th overall in 2011 by the Dallas Cowboys, there were high expectations for Carter.
