Falcons add former Giants LB Lorenzo Carter

The Falcons had yet to sign anyone to help out a shaky outside linebacker group this offseason, but it was always only a matter of time. The question was how many intriguing pass rushers the team could and would add in free agency versus the draft with their budget, and we now know the answer is at least one.

Lorenzo Carter penned a farewell message to the Giants and their fans after spending the past four season there, and it turns out he did so because he was landing with the Falcons. The former third-round pick out of Georgia ought to have a significant role for this Atlanta defense.
