Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on March 11 that Metchie agreed to a one-year contract with Carolina.
- The Jets chose not to issue a restricted free-agent tender, making Metchie an unrestricted free agent.
- After a 2025 midseason move to New York, he posted 29 receptions for 256 yards and two touchdowns in nine games.
- The addition supplies receiver depth for Carolina and a familiar target for Young, with Metchie’s role still to be determined.
- His path back included a 2021 ACL tear and a 2022 leukemia diagnosis that sidelined him for that season before returning to action in 2023.
