DB Shyheim Carter

The Jets don’t have much depth at safety behind Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye, but don’t expect Carter to vault into a starting role if either Adams or Maye are traded. Carter will still need to beat out Mattias Farley if he wants to compete for a backup role. 

There’s a chance Carter tries to fit in as a cornerback as well, and that’s where he might have a better shot at being a contributor. The Jets have 12 cornerbacks on the roster right now and only Pierre Desir and Brian Poole are guaranteed to make the team. The rest are either rookies or signed inexpensive contracts. Carter is likely a practice squad candidate.
