I don't see how he counts. I think that person is wrong. I also don't assume he's a lock to make the 53 (PS, yes).

 

Carter was undrafted, and he was a free agent.  I don't think he's a lock, but he's pretty close.

 

Besides, who really cares about this streak?

He was undrafted in 2012 though, he's not a rookie.

I don't care about the streak. I care about the best players making it.

Rookie is a measurement of years played in the league. So the argument would be that he has never played a year in the NFL yet. Obviously there is the fact that he played in the CFL. I don't know how that affects things.

he counts as a rookie.  http://www.colts.com/team/roster.html

his chances of making the roster are 95%+.  potential is the key with carter, he makes little money but has more potential than anyone behind him on the depth chart.  griff has had his chances, he has as many career fumbles as he does TDs, and he is limited as an athlete.

 

this offense doesnt need much from the 5th WR either.  it seems smarter to develop a guy like carter, than keep someone around like griff, when we have a couple of very good small WRs already that have far more potential than griff

 

i do wish we could keep GW on the PS though.  we might see him again if injuries pile up or something

 

edit- you again... this wont turn into another flame war, its not that deep

Arbitrary percentage. At this point the only reason he would make the roster is because of his assumed "potential". Generally, however, that's what the PS is for.

They aren't paying Carter much, but they gave him a multi-year deal, and had competition to sign him.....The Colts had to outbid a few teams for him, and having Luck, as well as our reputation for being a team that gives ample chances to UDFA, especially CFL players, helped us get him.  The Vikings wanted him pretty badly.  No way he clears waivers if cut.  Carolina is also desperate for cheap quick fix WR's with potential an added bonus....  Aside from that, yes, Carter is a UDFA.

The fact that he was a UDFA for the Vikings in 2012 makes calling him a rookie nonsensical to me.

I agree that it is time for Whalen to go. He's popular, but with clear size and athleticism limitations. At 6'5' Carter could prove useful in the red zone.
