Las Vegas Raiders Sign Former Chargers Wide Receiver

The Las Vegas Raiders have added another wide receiver to their roster by signing DeAndre Carter to a one-year contract.

Carter spent the 2022 season with the Los Angeles Chargers, where he posted the best numbers of his career with 46 receptions for 538 yards and three touchdowns, in addition to contributing on special teams.

The 29-year had to play behind star receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, but really stepped up when either or both receivers went down with injury.

For his career, spanning five seasons and 77 games, Carter has amassed 104 receptions for 1,220 yards (11.7 avg) and six touchdowns. Photo Credit: Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports
