Carter, 29, had a breakout year in 2022, catching 46 passes for 538 yards and three touchdowns with the Chargers. A talented return-man, he finished second in the NFL with 11.7 yards per punt return last season. Drafted in 2018, Carter has played for the five different organizations before joining the Raiders.
A former standout at Sacramento State, DeAndre Carter was first-team FCS All-American in 2014, racking up 99 receptions, 1,321 yards and 17 TDs. In his NFL career, he has amassed only 1,220 receiving yards and six total TDs.
Now joining a stacked WR room of Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow, Carter will provide speed and versatility for head coach Josh McDaniels.
