My first point is, how does going from the playoff-eliminated (in all but name) Jets to the world champions make you a casualty?
My second point is why are the Jets acquiring dross from other teams rather than giving the guys on our own roster a chance? Earlier in the week they cut Brandon Smith after elevating him to the 53 for the Bengals game, where he didn't get a target. We wouldn't have got much more than a sixth for Carter anyway, so I wonder if the Eagles needed to get Metchie off their roster for some reason.
Update: Smith is now back on the PS. I still say there's no point having guys there if you're not prepared to play them come hell or high water.
