Andre Roberts News
The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent wide receiver/kick returner Andre Roberts to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday. Roberts was an All-Pro returner in three of the last four seasons and led the NFL in kickoff return yards last year with 1,010 for the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers. His 8,578 combined return yards on kickoffs and punts are the most of any player in the league since 2010. Roberts has averaged 26.0 yards per kickoff return and 8.7 yards per punt return in his career. Carolina ranked 17th in the league last year with 22.1 yards per kickoff return. The 34-year-old veteran will fill a need for the Panthers on special teams. Roberts was originally a third-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2010 out of The Citadel. He won't have any fantasy appeal for his offensive skills as a receiver.
The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to sign former Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Roberts, according to a source. Roberts, a former Pro Bowl punt and kick returner, was released by the Texans earlier this week. The 33-year-old could immediately take over kick-return duties when the Chargers return after their Week 7 bye. Nasir Adderley (hip), who was the team's primary return man, could be in danger of missing time after injuring his hip in the Week 6 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Roberts has just eight catches in the last three years with Houston and the Buffalo Bills, so don't expect him to become involved on offense with the Bolts.
The Houston Texans released wide receiver/kick returner Andre Roberts on Monday. Roberts didn't do much on offense for the Texans while also returning a league-high 18 kickoffs this season. He could resurface quickly, though, as he's made the Pro Bowl each of the last three years as a return man on special teams. The 33-year-old former third-rounder in 2010 had just two targets on offense with Houston this year, catching one pass for a 35-yard gain. Roberts has 262 career receptions on 491 targets for 3,079 yards and 15 touchdowns in 168 games (41 starts) in his 12 NFL seasons.
