It looks the Las Vegas Raiders continue to pile up on everybody that once wore a powder blue uniform.

All jokes aside, Chargers fans will have to get used to the fact that instead of watching their WR DeAndre Carter suit up 17 games for them once again, they will now only see him twice a year and he will be in silver and black.

After just one season in LA, Carter has agreed to a one-year deal with the Raiders worth about $2.3 million. The news was first reported by the NFL's Jordan Schultz.

Just a few days ago, it was reported that Carter and the Raiders had mutual interest and now they have agreed to partner up. He certainly made his presence felt in his lone season with the Chargers but he was looking for a bigger role that LA could not give him.

With Keenan Allen and Mike Williams demanding most of the receptions and looks, Carter will get a bigger opportunity to shine in Las Vegas. Following the departure of Derek Carr and addition of Jimmy Garoppolo, there is a whole new culture there that he will try to fit into.
