DeAndre Carter set to join Browns on one-year deal

WR DeAndre Carter (hamstring) is expected to sign a one-year contract with the Browns, per league sources. The 31-year-old, who turns 32 in April, played 13 games for the Bears in 2024, notching nine catches for 72 yards without a score on sparse offensive snaps. Carter also handled kickoff and punt returns before a hamstring injury sidelined him for the final four weeks. His special teams prowess will likely define his role in Cleveland. (Jordan Schultz)

Sources: The #Browns are signing WR and return specialist DeAndre Carter to a 1-year deal. He gets nearly $800K guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact:

Carter’s move to Cleveland won’t ripple most fantasy pools—his nine grabs in 2024 scream roster filler, not starter. His return skills matter for real football, but offensive snaps will stay slim, keeping him off the radar outside return-yardage leagues. The hamstring’s healed, but at 32, he’s a depth piece—dynasty managers can skip him, and redraft players won’t notice. He’s a non-factor unless injuries gut the Browns’ WR room.
