We definitely need some talent at WR. The terms have to be pretty favorable I would imagine...

[danlhart87]

Love this

[OhioColtsGirl]

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing him play!

[RockThatBlue]

Awesome! Can't wait to see him next year.

[HarryTheCat]

If he pans out, the Colts' WR corps could give opponents nightmares trying to cover everyone.  Would love to see some 3-wide stuff with TY, Moncreif and Carter. Let's hope the kid works out.  

[pgt_rob]

I hope he pans out.

[danlhart87]

Draft Coleman or Johnson and make couple adjustments to OL and this O is flying

[Dark Superman]

Still need a veteran presence if Reggie hangs it up. Keep building the offensive line and go out and get someone who can run the ball for Luck..

I'm excited..

The future has so much potential for the Colts if they make the right moves.

[NBColtsFanatic]

Any details on the contract?

[Cynjin]

So when Cris Carter is on Mike & Mike is he going to talk about the Colts as much as Greenberg talks about the Jets?

[SilentHill]

Really interested in the contract details.

[shakedownstreet]

who cares? it can't be much

[PrincetonTiger]

This could be big

[indyagent17]

This sure took forever, I hope he is worth the wait.

 

I have a feeling Reggie will come back for one more year and he will have a much better season did he did this season

 

That said,  Wayne, Hilton, Moncrief, Carter and Whalen!

[RockThatBlue]

Really interested in the contract details.

Me too. Can't imagine its a big contract though.

[Dustin]

Let's hope he's hungry like the wolf. 

[Mr.Debonair]

I hope we still draft a WR

[bestQBever]

This could be big

then again, it couldn't...

[chrisfarley]

Me too. Can't imagine its a big contract though.

I bet it's pretty big

[jvan1973]

I bet it's pretty big

in relation to what? It won't be a multi year mega millions contract Just above rookie minimum is my guess

[Dustin]

He won't have to be eating government cheese down by the river that's for sure. 

[csmopar]

Yee haw. Hope hes half as good as his hype..

[CanuckColt]

I can't believe how excited so many fans/posters are about Carter.

 

This is what is being written by those who know football:

"Carter (6-foot-4, 205) is being talked about like a potential future star, but we really need to scale back expectations. It's extremely unusual for top-flight prospects to spend two years in Canada, even if they have off-field issues like Carter. (Carter isn't a top-flight prospect.)..."

What difference does it make?

I think your putting too much into comments. Most are taking a wait and see attitude. We are all aware of his issues.

So a rotoworld report written by someone who doesn't even put their name to it is a guy who "knows football"?

Warren Moon, Joe Theisman, Camaron Wake.

This is gr8. No risk with high potential.

I'm no contract expert but I'm guessing 3 years and about $1.5 mil total and maybe $150-200k signing bonus.

Bargain for a #3-#4 wr with potential.

Warren Moon, Joe Theisman, Camaron Wake.

Great Players with CFL ties

[corgi]

What difference does it make?

It doesn't make a difference if anyone talks about them, but it's nice to get some air time every once in a while.

I believe his contract is limited to something like that. I believe it's a UDFA contract, with limitations on total value, years and signing bonus. I think the only room for special consideration is guaranteed money.

 

I just searched for contract terms, and nothing yet. It's too early.

[Mr.Debonair]

I hope we still draft a WR or a younger veteran FA

[corgi]

Would be great if both he and Moncrief play really well to take some of the double teams off of TY.

There are enough CFL to NFL success stories already. We can completely dismiss that angle. It's not a detriment, nor is it a referendum on his talent.

 

We all know why he went to the CFL. He stayed there two years because he signed a two year contract. There are no questions about his talent or ability on the field. The questions are entirely about what happens off the field and between the ears, and those questions have nothing to do with him being the CFL, or how long he was in the CFL.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I'm hoping and expect Griggs signs a veteran wr and we also draft one,probably a big tall speedy one.

[ColtStronger]

For what it's worth, at the bottom of the article on the homepage talking about Carter agreeing to terms, there is a tweet from somebody saying teammate Ocho Cinco says Carter is definitely has #1 WR potential now!  I think some people are blowing this signing out of proportion, but I do like it, especially with a minimum contract. 

 

Now all we need is a couple big men up front and I don't see how this offense can be stopped!

Agreed

Cris Carter loves the airtime. He is like Gruden, every time a camera is pointed at them they light up like a Christmas tree.
