The Cleveland Browns have made a significant addition to their roster by signing veteran wide receiver and return specialist DeAndre Carter to a one-year deal. The contract is reported to be worth nearly $800,000, highlighting the team's commitment to improving their special teams and receiving corps. Carter, who has experience with multiple NFL franchises, including the Chicago Bears last season, is known for his impressive return abilities, having ranked second in the league for kick returns with an average of 31.9 yards.

In his career, Carter has accumulated over 1,300 receiving yards and demonstrated solid performance on special teams, averaging 9.7 yards on punt returns. The Browns struggled in the return game last year, finishing 30th in kickoff return average and looking to Carter to help revitalize this facet of their game. With Carter's versatility and experience, he becomes an essential asset for the Browns as they aim to strengthen their offense and special teams heading into the new season.
