Vincent Rey led the team in combined tackles last season with 121.

If I'm not mistaken, Rey was also rated as the team's most efficient tackler by PFF last season. I know that stats and PFF rankings aren't everything but c'mon, the guy has made a case for being the second best LB on the team last year.
As far as the OP goes: it'd be pretty disappointing to watch the team find this dude who can pass rush decently, do well with 1st team reps, and then get kicked to the curb. The pass rush last season simply was not getting it done and held the rest of the defense back. Why not take a flier on a dude who may be able to help in that department? I'd say that a guy like Carter would be way more valuable than a big dude who can't pass rush at this point. Plus it opens the door to some exotic formations/blitzes if he can prove his worth in the regular season.
