Kansas City Chiefs sign LB Abdre Carter

The Chiefs signed DE Andre Carter to a futures contract, a low-risk move targeting a young pass rusher with developmental potential rather than immediate impact. This is a typical depth acquisition for a team addressing linebacker/edge rusher needs on a reserve deal, generating minimal media attention and representing a speculative investment. For Kansas City, it's a prudent roster management move that costs little but could provide rotational depth or special teams value if Carter develops.
