Duron not only caught passes, but showed what he can do with a well placed pass while he is in stride.

 He also make a back shoulder catch that would have made Reggie proud.

Seems like he is getting more comfortable, and just having fun playing than worrying about the little things.  If he stays in this mode, he will be a good contributor.

I think the coaches must have told him..."You are on this team....settle down...and show us what you can really do."  He was a totally different player out there.  Granted, he was not playing against any strong press coverage.  That played into it as well.  All in all a great night to watch Duron!!

I thought Duron played well overall.  Some mistakes here and there such as running his route short of the first down marker on one of those sideline catches. Also running an out route against press coverage instead of doing a sight adjustment and going with the fade.  It was a single high safety look and he and Bennett were clearly on different pages.  Bennett was expecting him to run the fade.  All in all you could see from last nights game what Duron Carter could be and it was positive. He'll definitely make the team.

It's hard to look good with Hasselbeck and Bennett as your quarterbacks so kudos to him.

 

Yes and for example towards the end of the 4th quarter, the 3rd down play where Bennett throws at Duron but hits him at the knees. Ouch... That would have been a score if it was thrown higher.

He was also playing against guys that will be posting on the forums next week.

He was a bit, but not the whole game. He is our #5 WR and he was going against the Bengals #4 and #5 corners. So for what he will be doing for our team he was matched up on the right competition level.

Not sure what you guys are seeing. He didn't look good at all. Dropped passes. Missed routes. 1 good catch and a couple of others but way more misses than positives

Shame too because he has the measurable a to be a star.

Not sure what you are seeing either? I am not saying he is going to be the next Andre Johnson, but he had a very solid game last night. There was mistakes, but I thought he showed a lot more promise than any other receiver last night.

FO agrees with me.....   Carter did not earn anything

Never said he earned anything, I thought you was talking about the Bengals game so was I. Many people thought he had a solid game that game and I agreed. I never said whether it was enough to make the roster or not. I figured he would of been the 5th receiver, but Whalen makes more sense giving his STs playing abilities. I really could care less one way or another.

      This has to be the worst take I've seen on this forum in a very long time!  I wish there was a thumb down or dislike button for your post.

      Kool-Aid McKinstry(41), Kamari Lassiter(no.42), Max Melton(43) all have their 3d year completely guaranteed too.    In general it seems like MItchell's contract is middle of the road type of contract. Some got more guaranteed, some less...

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By Superman · Posted

      Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
