Broncos restricted free agent cornerback Tony Carter has re-signed with the club, according to the NFL’s Monday transactions.
A reserve in Denver’s secondary for the last several seasons, the 28-year-old Carter notched five tackles in eight regular season games in 2014. A seventh-year pro from Florida State, Carter has recorded 49 tackles, defended 20 passes and hauled in three interceptions in regular season play.
The Broncos are strong at cornerback, with Chris Harris and Aqib Talib a very good top tandem and 2014 first-round pick Bradley Roby a solid third option. Carter and 2013 third-round pick Kayvon Webster add to the depth.
Clubs had until last Friday to sign restricted agents to offer sheets. With the deadline having passed, the remaining RFAs figure to sign their one-year tender offers with their clubs as Carter did Monday.
