        DeAndre Carter is only 5-8. But in addition to his return wizardry, he was 3rd in WR receptions for Washington last season, so he will serve as a viable receiving option for Herbert as well. And he is from Sacramento State, which is about a mile down the bike trail from where I am typing right now. I don't know if there is another Hornet in the NFL.

          He’s an upgrade in regards to what he can do as a WR for sure, he’s also a better punt returner than roberts, he is a slight downgrade as a KR tho. So overall the chargers are continuing the trend of getting younger, not going young young, but definitely younger and still with plenty of experience as we’ve seen with everett, jc jackson, austin, and sebastion. I like the new pattern, it bodes well in regards to injuries and having a more competent NFL caliber roster.

            It’s only a 1-year deal for like 1.1M, and then another 1.5M in incentives. I definitely wouldn’t rule out that we add another returner/WR and let them compete. A competition between 2 players with actual return skills is something this team has needed for years instead of the usual competition of who can meet the bare minimum skill level to be considered our starting returner. Keep on wishing!

              Its a cheap enough contract that suggests to me he may not even make the roster. Am i reading OTC right? We could release him and only take a 100K dead hit? Maybe he is insurance in the event we dont draft a guy that does all those things. Williams and Wilson both come to mind. I still havnt ruled out one of these complete WR burner types in round one. As much as that pains some fans.

              I also think if you watch how the Redskins used him on sweeps etc he sort of reminds me of that little Harris fella in New Orleans. Is this a guy they want to do those same things? Similar players imo. Lombardi might have been part of this.

              Deonte Harris is the player. Changed his name to Harty. Good little gadget/returner type. Staley said he in interested in WRs who can stretch the field and run the entire route tree. Players that when they come on the field dont telegraph what they are doing. Harris/Harty isnt that guy.

              Just wont be surprised if he doesnt make the team after we draft someone who makes him expendable.

                Who do we already have on the roster that's a lock to make the team? KA, MW, Guyton and Palmer. Did I miss someone? Surely there's room for Carter even if we do bring in a WR high(er) in the Draft.

                      UDFA who’s progressed his game into this signing, in the fight for 4th WR on a loaded team. Can respect. Also found this:

                      Even when you adjust for his smaller height and weight (5'8 1/2, 185 lbs), he comes up as above average in everything. He has a respectable 4.44 second 40 yard dash, but it's his 1.45 second 10 yard split that turns heads.

                      (Guyton’s 40: 4.39)

                          Appears to be fumble prone like the last one.
