The Tennessee Titans have signed edge rusher Lorenzo Carter, the team announced Thursday.
Carter, a third-round pick by the New York Giants in 2018, spent four seasons with the franchise while appearing in 49 games. During that span, the 29-year-old amassed 153 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, and 14.5 sacks.
The edge has spent the last three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. In 2024, he played 13 games (11 starts) and posted 32 tackles, two tackles for loss, one forced fumble and a career-low zero sacks. According to Pro Football Reference, he had three quarterback pressures and two knockdowns.
The low pass rushing statistics certainly stand out. However, it is worth noting that he was brought on only nine blitzes last season. That is a far cry from his earlier totals; he had a career-high 78 blitzes in 2019.
Carter has also been deployed as an inside linebacker in the past, most significantly in 2021.
At 6-foot-5 and 264 pounds, he is a commanding presence, and he ran a 4.50-second 40-yard dash at the 2019 NFL combine.
The Titans will look to maximize the versatile athlete’s abilities this season.
