The Jets have re-signed linebacker Bruce Carter, according to a team announcement. The news comes on the heels of safety Marcus Gilchrist and two other Jets players getting released. 
Carter was a starting linebacker with the Cowboys but he has not seen that kind of playing time in the last two years with the Buccaneers and Jets. After amassing just eleven tackles in 2016, the Jets put him on the backburner this offseason and it’s not clear if other teams had sincere interest in signing him. Terms of the deal are not yet known, but this is likely a one-year deal at the veteran’s minimum.
The Jets added West Georgia linebacker Dylan Donahue in the fifth round of this year’s draft but they did not make any major additions to the LB group this offseason.
