Per the team, defensive lineman Zach Carter is re-signing with the Las Vegas Raiders. They have not revealed the details of the deal. The former third-round pick served two years in Cincinnati before joining the Raiders in 2024, playing as a rotational piece for the team. Carter signed in October as a practice squad player and was elevated to the active roster just eleven days later. He registered 22 tackles and 1.5 sacks on 88 snaps, seeing his playing time increase over the back half of the season. Whether the 25-year-old has a chance to start this season is unknown, but the Raiders saw something they liked despite his limited time with the team. Las Vegas has returned most of its defensive front from a year ago.

The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday that they re-signed free-agent defensive tackle Zachary Carter to an undisclosed deal. Carter began last season with the Cincinnati Bengals before joining the Raiders to finish out the year. The 25-year-old interior defensive lineman had only 22 total tackles (10 solo), a career-high 1.5 sacks and two QB hits in 12 games (two starts) combined with both teams. The Bengals took him in the third round (95th overall) in the 2022 NFL draft out of the University of Florida. Carter has never had more than 23 total tackles in his three seasons in the NFL as mostly a reserve defensive tackle, but he could have a shot to compete for a bigger role in Vegas in his first full season with the team in 2025.
