Free-agent WR Carlton Mitchell (Buccaneers) signed an undisclosed contract with the Atlanta Falcons Thursday, June 18. WR Shane Wynn was waived.

Footballguys view: Mitchell was an intriguing prospect for dynasty owners when he came out of USF a few years ago. He hasn't been in the NFL since 2013, but he's spent the last two seasons playing in the CFL. Mitchell will compete for a depth spot on the roster in Atlanta.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free-agent WR Carlton Mitchell (Cowboys) to an undisclosed deal.

Footballguys view: Mitchell was an interesting prospect to watch when he came out of South Florida and was a sixth-round pick by the Browns in 2010. He struggled to impress with the Browns and now gets a new chance with the Cowboys. Mitchell has a good size/speed combination and can track deep passes with ease.

Cleveland Browns WR Carlton Mitchell (leg) remained sidelined from practice Wednesday, Aug. 1, and it's uncertain when he'll return.

  Browns | Travis Benjamin, Carlton Mitchell battling for spot    Sat Jul 14, 12:22 AM

Cleveland Browns WRs Travis Benjamin and Carlton Mitchell will enter training camp batting for roster spots as backups.

Footballguys view: These WRs have completely different skills sets. Benjamin is a smaller WR with quicks and run after the catch ability. Mitchell is a big bodied WR with a large wingspan and good long speed.

  Browns | Carlton Mitchell on roster bubble    Sun Jun 24, 08:17 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Carlton Mitchell likely needs to step up in training camp if he hopes to be a part of the 53-man roster.

Footballguys view: Mitchell has a good size/speed combination but has yet to play up to his potential. Some think the lack of production has to do more with the lack of arm strength from QB Colt McCoy. Mitchell is a downfield target and could easily outrun McCoy's arm.

  Browns | Joshua Cooper turning heads in workouts    Sun Jun 10, 11:41 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Joshua Cooper has been more impressive than WR Carlton Mitchell during workouts, and the team likes Cooper's hands. Cooper caught 139 passes over the past two seasons at Oklahoma State pairing with QB Brandon Weeden.

Footballguys view: Cooper could be a great security blanket for Weeden in the slot with Greg Little and Mo Massaquoi on the outside. Mitchell has great speed and athleticism, but still hasn't overcome the label of a raw wide receiver coming out of college.

  Browns | Carlton Mitchell could get playing time    Sun May 20, 05:21 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Carlton Mitchell could receive some playing time this season if he is able to stay healthy during training camp.

Footballguys view: Mitchell was able to outrun Colt McCoy's passes because of his long speed, but that won't happen if Brandon Weeden wins the starting QB job. He's got a good size/speed combination and could be used to stretch the field for the Browns.

  Browns | Carlton Mitchell hopes dedication pays off    Sat Oct 29, 01:42 AM

Cleveland Browns WR Carlton Mitchell (finger) said Friday, Oct. 28, that he purchased a JUGS passing machine and has used it to practice catching footballs just about everywhere. He is hopeful the dedication pays off. 'I love that thing,' Mitchell said. 'It's probably the best investment I've ever had. I take it and I'll be in the hallway of the condo shooting JUGS or in the parking garage. I got caught a couple of times. I took it to the gym. It helped a lot. Caught about 1,000 balls a day.'

Footballguys view: Mitchell is a top-notch size/speed athlete who is also fluid when making a play on the ball in the air. He could easily assert himself as one of the top two young receivers on the Browns roster very quickly if he gets some playing time.

  Browns | Carlton Mitchell expected to miss a few weeks    Sun Aug 14, 03:01 PM

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said WR Carlton Mitchell (finger) will miss a few weeks after undergoing surgery on his finger.

Footballguys view: A tough setback for a player on the rise here. Mitchell has a good size/speed combination and can get by the defense in a hurry. Hopefully this injury won't prevent him from playing up to his potential during the regular season.

  Browns | Carlton Mitchell out after finger surgery    Sun Aug 14, 12:06 AM

Cleveland Browns WR Carlton Mitchell (finger) had finger surgery Friday, Aug. 12. He is currently listed as the backup to WR Brian Robiskie on the depth chart.

Footballguys view: Mitchell is a favorite of the Holmgren regime and he had a chance to potentially play himself into a starting role, but this injury will slow his development. He's still a nice deep dynasty stash and he could still end up being a good waiver wire pickup.

  Browns | Mohamed Massaquoi on the bubble?     Mon Aug 8, 11:34 AM

Cleveland Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi (foot) continues to be sidelined with a foot injury, and as a result his roster spot could be in jeopardy. WRs Greg Little, Jordan Norwood and Carlton Mitchell have all had strong camps to date.

Footballguys view: Massaquoi is most certainly on the roster bubble. He's failed to produce consistently for the team and is not a starting caliber receiver. The Browns added several weapons to the passing game this offseason and could move on without him easily.

  Browns | Unlikely to pursue WR in free agency?    Mon Jul 4, 09:04 PM

Tony Grossi, from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, believes the Browns will not pursue a veteran free agent WR like Mike Sims-Walker once the lockout is lifted. The team has expressed confidence in the WRs currently on the roster.

Footballguys view: The Browns added a big weapon to the passing game when they selected WR Greg Little in the second-round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Little reminds many in the scouting community of a young Anquan Boldin because of his size, strength, and run after the catch ability. They also have second-year WR Carlton Mitchell who could be a big play weapon downfield because of his size/speed combination.

  Browns | Carlton Mitchell expected to receive opportunity    Sun Apr 17, 04:24 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Carlton Mitchell is expected to receive the opportunity earn more playing time during training camp, reports Tony Grossi, of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Footballguys view: Mitchell could be a rising star on the league if he can develop his high upside. He has a good size/speed combination, strong hands, and has good leaping ability. The Browns are in need of better playmakers at the wide receiver position, and could see Mitchell as important piece of the offensive puzzle.

  Browns | Coach like Carlton Mitchell    Sun Mar 27, 02:35 PM

Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said there are things he likes about WR Carlton Mitchell believes he has a chance to be a good receiver moving forward, reports Tony Grossi, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Shurmur mentioned Mitchell's size and speed as positives.

Footballguys view: There's a lot to like about Carlton Mitchell, and there are some in the scouting community who believe he's a star in the making. Mitchell has a good size/speed combination and can high point passes over smaller defensive backs. The Browns need to upgrade the WR position, but Mitchell just needs to develop his raw skill set to be a playmaker.
