- Multiple outlets report a one-year, veteran-minimum type deal, though the team has not disclosed full contract details.
- Chandler brings 4.38 speed and return experience, totaling 710 rushing yards and 30 receptions in four seasons, with a 2023 peak of 461 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
- He appeared in only three games in 2025 after a knee injury, finishing with 47 rushing yards and contributing on kick returns.
