The New York Jets have released running back Michael Carter according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. Carter has had a hard time getting regular reps for Gang Green in 2023 and has played poorly in those limited opportunities. Carter has just eight carries this season for 38 yards but has dropped passes on a regular basis coming out of the backfield.
Right now the Jets problems on offense run far deeper than their third string running back, but the team opted to make Carter the first scapegoat for the team’s lackluster performance.
After Sunday night’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Robert Saleh said there would be no changes at quarterback or offensive coordinator, but that the team would consider other personnel changes.
