The New England Patriots continued their defensive overhaul by signing veteran defensive end Andre Carter.
Carter announced the deal on his Twitter account Sunday night, and it was confirmed by the NFL Network's Michael Lombardi.
The 32-year-old Carter has spent the past five seasons with the Washington Redskins, twice recording double-digit sacks.
He has registered 66.5 sacks in 10 seasons with Washington and San Francisco.
Earlier Sunday, the Patriots signed former New York Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis. They have also signed former Chicago Bears defensive end Mark Anderson and acquired massive lineman Albert Haynesworth from the Washington Redskins.
