Source: Former Bucs LB Bruce Carter visits Jets

The New York Jets filled one linebacker hole last week by re-signing Erin Henderson to a two-year, $3.1 million contract, but they apparently aren't finished with that position. On Wednesday, they hosted Bruce Carter on a free-agent visit, a league source confirmed.

Chances are, the Jets are looking for depth at inside linebacker. They used four veteran inside linebackers last season -- David Harris, Demario Davis, Henderson and Jamari Lattimore -- and they're down to only two because Davis is gone (Cleveland Browns) and Lattimore is a free agent.

Carter, a second-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2011, was a three-year starter in Dallas.
