Rotational role in 2023
Carter finished 2023 with 35 tackles (24 solo), 3.0 sacks, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and one pass defense in 17 appearances.
ANALYSIS
Despite not missing a game, Carter played less than half as many defensive snaps in 2023 (406) than he did in 2022 (877). Despite a drop in overall tackle numbers, Carter still made an occasional impact as a pass rusher. The 2018 third-round pick has one year remaining on his current deal, and he figures to handle a similar role in 2024, though he could see an uptick in snaps if Bud Dupree signs elsewhere this offseason.

In his first season with Atlanta, Carter registered a career-high 58 tackles and played in 17 games. The Falcons re-signed the 27-year-old to a two-year deal this offseason, and he'll likely garner a similar starting role for an improved defense in 2023. Carter has never put together a stellar sack season, but he has shown flashes as a pass rusher and notched his first career pick-six in 2022, marking back-to-back seasons with an interception.
