The Tennessee Titans needed to add more EDGE rushers/outside linebackers after tying for the 3rd-fewest sacks last year and releasing Harold Landry III two weeks ago. Last Friday, Tennesee brought in Dre’Mont Jones on a one-year deal. Jones is a versatile defender who can line up inside as an interior defensive lineman and outside as an EDGE rusher, offering the defense much-needed flexibility.
Tennessee Titans add under-the-radar defender with 21.5 sacks

Carter is on his third team and eighth year in the league. He has recorded 278 tackles, 35 TFLs, 58 QB hits, 21.5 sacks, two interceptions, one pick-six, 18 pass deflections, and five forced fumbles in 96 games and 62 starts. He is considered a decent pass rusher, a solid run defender, and can drop in coverage.
The newcomer had a rough 2024 campaign
Lorenzo Carter had a rough 2024 campaign, and excluding 2020, he had the worst statistical season, posting career lows in tackles for loss, QB hits, sacks, and pass deflections. Carter recorded 32 tackles, two TFLs, two QB hits, zero sacks, zero pass deflections, and one forced fumble in 13 games and 11 starts, representing 409 (48%) snaps. He missed four games (Weeks 7-10) with a concussion.
