Jets boosted by T'Vondre Sweat trade after Jalen Carter's big extension

The New York Jets' trade for T'Vondre Sweat appears to benefit them following Jalen Carter's recent contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles. Carter signed a four-year extension worth up to $160 million, including $106 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid defensive tackle. This development enhances the perception of Sweat's value, as he is under a team-friendly rookie contract for two more years. Sweat has been ranked among Pro Football Focus' top-20 defensive tackles, and the Jets may have secured an advantageous deal amid escalating contracts in the league.
