Who Should I Start? DeAndre Carter or Devontez Walker

Thursday, March 20, 1:07 PM

The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent wide receiver and return specialist DeAndre Carter (hamstring) to a one-year deal for nearly $800,000 guaranteed on Wednesday, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Carter will head to the AFC North in 2025 after spending the 2024 campaign with the Chicago Bears, where he caught only nine of 14 targets for 72 yards and no touchdowns on offense over 13 games (no starts). The 31-year-old will most likely be more of an asset to the Browns on special teams as a kick returner than he will be on offense, as he hasn't had more than 46 catches, 538 yards or three touchdowns in a single season during his seven NFL seasons. Carter missed the final four games last year with a hamstring injury but should be good to go for training camp this summer. He had 17 punt returns for 158 yards and 15 kickoff returns for 479 yards for the Bears in 2024.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker couldn't get in on the action during the team's preseason debut against the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year wideout wasn't fully to blame for his zero receptions on two targets in this contest. While the offensive line struggled, so did Devin Leary, who overthrew Walker when he was open in the end zone. On another play, Walker fought off a defensive pass interference and caught a ball while falling backwards, but it didn't show up on the stat sheet. Walker was drafted in 2024 to eventually become a deep threat, but with LaJohntay Wester having a big debut, he may start to feel some real pressure.
