Overview

  • Carter informed the Titans on Monday that he would retire, catching the team off guard just two days before training camp begins.
  • He signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with Tennessee this offseason and took part in OTAs and minicamp before his decision.
  • Placement on the NFL’s Reserve/Retired list frees a roster spot and leaves the Titans with seven edge rushers competing at camp.
  • Carter entered the league as the New York Giants’ third-round pick in 2018 and recorded a career-best five sacks in his 2021 season.
  • After four seasons with the Giants and three with the Atlanta Falcons, the veteran joined Tennessee before abruptly ending his NFL career.
