training camp. He went instead to the NFLEL’s facility in Birmingham to recover from his injury. The Buccaneers were allowed to use Carter’s roster exemption on another player from the NFL Europe League who was not already affiliated with an NFL team. Eventually, that exemption would have to be assumed by only one of the two players. Tampa Bay signed defensive end/long-snapper Jordan Hicks in June. When Carter returned to full health, the Buccaneers chose to leave the exemption with Hicks and released Carter. Personal Carter majored in Business at Troy State. He also served as a volunteer for the Jets’ JV Clinic, assisted in the Jets’ Blood Drive in May 2003, and participated in Santana Moss’ event with Operation SCORE (Seizing Control of Right Eating), where he manned one of six stations. The New York Jets players manned each station and taught children about stretching, aerobic exercise and conditioning. Carter also participated in the Club’s Football Fanfare/Kid Reporter of the Week Program with The Star Ledger by interviewing with a kid reporter after the Club’s 9/28 game vs. Dallas. Carter also has a son name Jace and a daughter named Jaylee.
