The Tennessee Titans aimed to bolster their pass rush after finishing with the third-fewest sacks last season and parting ways with Harold Landry III two weeks ago. To address this need, they signed Dre’Mont Jones to a one-year contract last Friday. Jones brings versatility to the defense, as he can play both as an interior defensive lineman and an EDGE rusher, providing Tennessee with valuable flexibility.

Now in his eighth year in the league and playing for his third team, Carter has built a solid career. Over 96 games with 62 starts, he has amassed 278 tackles, 35 tackles for loss, 58 quarterback hits, and 21.5 sacks. His stats also include two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, 18 pass deflections, and five forced fumbles.
