The Jets are still looking for depth at linebacker, and they’re bringing in a guy who could provide some experience.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Jets are bringing former Buccaneers linebacker Bruce Carter for a visit today.

The Bucs cut him this offseason, one year into a four-year deal he signed the previous offseason. It was an easy cap call (saving $4.25 million) since Carter had lost the starting middle linebacker job to rookie Kwon Alexander.

A former second-rounder by the Cowboys, Carter has intriguing athleticism, but has never been able to make it translate.

The Jets lost Demario Davis in free agency to the Browns, and signed veteran Erin Henderson last week, so there’s still a need for some depth inside.
