The Tennessee Titans announced edge rusher Lorenzo Carter informed the team he was going to retire just one day before training camp began.

Former Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Lorenzo Carter, who is 29 years old, is retiring from the NFL after seven seasons. Carter, a third-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft, spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the New York Giants from 2018-2021. Carter played with his hometown Atlanta Falcons from 2022-2024.

Carter,29, was a third-round draft pick of the Giants in 2018 out of Georgia, taken with the 66th overall pick. He played four seasons in New York before signing with the Atlanta Falcons during his free agency in 2022. He spent three years there and signed with the Titans in March of this year.

The Giants picked Carter 66th in the 2017 NFL draft after a career in which he helped revitalize the Bulldogs. In the final win of his college career—Georgia's epic victory over Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day 2018—he recorded a career-best 10 tackles.

Former New York Giants pass rusher Lorenzo Carter decided to call it a career on Tuesday, just months after landing with the Tennessee Titans in free agency.

This started with the release of long-tenured edge rusher Harold Landry III, once a Pro Bowler for the Titans. They replaced him with veterans like Dre’Mont Jones and Lorenzo Carter in free agency, as well as rookies like Femi Oladejo.
