Washington receiver DeAndre Carter visits multiple teams

DeAndre Carter was Washington’s third-leading receiver in 2021, with 296 receiving yards. Carter tied for second on the team with three receiving touchdowns and also averaged 25.1 yards per kickoff return and added another touchdown.

Not a bad signing for Washington, as Carter signed with the Commanders for one year at $970,000.

Now, Carter is a free agent, and while the Commanders want him back, no deal has been reached, and the speedy Carter is visiting other teams.

Carter visited with the Chicago Bears Monday and is scheduled to meet with the Los Angeles Chargers Tuesday. If Washington wants to retain Carter, it may need to its offer. Both the Bears and Chargers have more salary-cap space than the Commanders.

The Commanders have lost three free agents and released three players. Washington has only signed two outside free agents but retained Cornelius Lucas, Bobby McCain, Cam Sims and J.D. McKissic.

Carter was a surprise in 2021 and proved to be one of Washington’s more reliable weapons when targeted. However, the team must have a set price on Carter and is unwilling to move off that price.
