Carter comes over from the Cowboys after spending time last season at all three linebacker positions. The 27-year-old signed a four-year contract with the Bucs in the offseason, rewarding him for leading Dallas with five interceptions – including three in his final three games – to go along with 68 tackles in 13 games. He battled a quadriceps injury that caused him to miss time last season, but, assuming he remains healthy, will add an element of versatility Tampa Bay has lacked alongside cornerstone linebacker Lavonte David. He will compete for a starting position with Danny Lansanah.
