Lorenzo Carter News
The Atlanta Falcons re-signed pass-rusher Lorenzo Carter to an undisclosed two-year deal on Tuesday, according to sources. The 27-year-old Carter didn't even make it to the open market. The former third-round selection by the New York Giants in 2018 had a career-high 58 tackles (29 solo), six tackles for loss, 12 QB hits, four sacks, an interception returned for a touchdown and a fumble recovery in 17 starts in his first season for the Falcons in 2022. Carter was one of the team's key edge rushers last year and will continue to be for the next two years. In 66 career games (50 starts) in the last five seasons, Carter has 123 solo tackles, 18.5 sacks and two interceptions.
New York Giants pass-rusher Lorenzo Carter is expected to sign an undisclosed one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, according to a source. Carter registered five sacks in his last four games, so the Falcons are hoping he can pick up where he left off in 2022. The 26-year-old was drafted by the Giants in the third round in 2018 out of Georgia, and he has 153 tackles (94 solo), 21 tackles for loss, 35 QB hits, one interception, 15 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 14.5 sacks in his four seasons in New York. Carter also had 50 tackles (28 solo), six tackles for loss, eight QB hits, one interception, five passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 14 starts in 2021.
New York Giants outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter (Achilles) will miss the rest of the season after he suffered a ruptured Achilles in the Week 5 loss to the Cowboys. Carter was carted off the field on Sunday and will undergo surgery later this week. He's expected to be back for next season. Entering Week 5, Carter had 14 tackles and one sack and led the team with nine QB pressures in the first four weeks, according to Next Gen Stats. He was tied for the team lead with four QB hits. It's a big loss, as Carter had been playing 89 percent of the team's defensive snaps prior to his injury. Markus Golden took most of the snaps in Carter's place on Sunday, and he's expected to have a bigger role moving forward, with rookies Carter Coughlin and Cam Brown also in the mix.
