The Cleveland Browns are making some eyebrow-raising moves this offseason. Earlier, they had the world guessing whether they will or won’t be moving forward with their star DE, Myles Garett. But see where we are now! Kevin Stefanski’s team not only extended Garrett but also made him the highest-paid non-QB in the league by offering him a 4-year, $160 million contract. And now, the team is back with another surprising move!

Many reports suggest that the Browns are signing veteran and versatile player, DeAndre Carter for Kevin Stefanski’s offense. According to NFL insider, Jordan Schultz, “The #Browns are signing WR and return specialist DeAndre Carter to a 1-year deal. He gets nearly $800K guaranteed. The 10-year veteran spent last year in Chicago.”

Even Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot confirmed the news by tweeting: “#Browns are signing veteran WR/return specialist DeAndre Carter to a one-year deal, source confirms.” It’s great news for the team, particularly when we look at the fact that Kevin Stefanski’s Browns haven’t had a solid return threat in 5+ years.

Yes! The Browns are taking another chance at fixing their return game. Because history tells us that it hasn’t been easy for them to find the right guy. First, they signed Jakeem Grant, hoping he’d bring some magic. Instead, disaster struck. He first suffered a ruptured Achilles, then a torn ACL. As a result, he never played a single regular-season snap. Then came Nyheim Hines.

Another injury. Another failed attempt. A jet ski accident left Hines sidelined before he ever stepped on the field. But worry not! Now, Kevin Stefanski’s team is rolling the dice again. This returner isn’t new to bouncing around as he has played with multiple teams during his 10-year NFL career.

Last season, DeAndre Carter showed flashes with a 67-yard return and a solid 32-yard average. He even has one career kick return touchdown to his name. So, does that mean Kevin Stefanski and the Browns finally have their answer in Carter? Or it’s just another name to add to their painful history? Well, time will tell. Until then, the HC is focused on their other gap – the quarterback!

Kevin Stefanski and the Browns have another chance to get Carson Wentz

In 2016, the Browns had a chance to get quarterback Carson Wentz on their team as the no. 2 overall pick. But they decided to pass on him by trading the pick away instead of drafting him. Now once again, after nine years, the stars are aligned, giving Kevin Stefanski and his team probably one last chance to make the connection.

According to Wednesday’s report of Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, Wentz and the Browns “definitely have mutual interest.” But the condition is—it will only happen if the team won’t move forward with Russell Wilson.

That means, if we see Carson Wentz, he might be a short-term fix for the Browns. Kevin Stefanski just brought in Kenny Pickett as well. So no doubt, there’s competition at quarterback. Last week, they met with Russell Wilson, but didn’t make him an offer. He’s also keeping his options open after visiting the Giants as well. It’s quite possible that Wilson goes to New York, and Wentz makes an entry into Cleveland.

Last season, Wentz played for the Chiefs, appearing in three games. One of those was against the Browns. His lone start came in Week 18 as the starters were rested. Overall, he threw for 118 yards, completing 12 of 19 passes. His career has been a whirlwind as the QB has switched teams often, from the Eagles, Colts, Commanders, and Rams, to the Chiefs. But now could Kevin Stefanski’s Browns be the 32-year-old’s next stop?
