Colts, Duron Carter could strike a deal sooner

After further review, the Indianapolis Colts and the rest of the NFL won't have to wait until Feb. 10 to get their shot at Canadian Football League wide receiver Duron Carter.

Under an agreement with Carter and his Canadian team, the Montreal Alouettes, the sought-after wideout could sign with an NFL team immediately.

Carter – son of Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter – will be released from his CFL contract if he agrees to terms with an NFL team, according to an agreement between Carter and Alouettes general manager Jim Popp, a source said. That means the Colts – seen as the frontrunner to land Carter – could strike a deal and sign him without having to wait until Feb. 10, when the NFL allows CFL players with expired contracts to sign deals. Releasing him from his CFL deal would make Carter a free agent.

DURON CARTER FOCUSED FOR SECOND CHANCE
Phillip B. Wilson

After two years of solid play in the Canadian Football League, Cris Carter's son is eager to prove he belongs in the NFL.

Duron Carter describes himself as an average Joe, although that’s obviously an understated self-appraisal.

Not everyone can say they’re the son of an NFL Hall of Famer. Cris Carter is his dad.

And the NFL doesn’t always give players second chances. Carter, 24, had his eyes opened when the Minnesota Vikings didn’t keep him after a tryout in 2013.

Two years in the Canadian Football League translated to 124 receptions for 1,939 yards and 12 touchdowns. His productive stint with the Montreal Alouettes led to this opportunity with the Indianapolis Colts, who signed a three-year, $1.575 million deal.

Carter, like his father in his youth, struggled with immaturity, by his own admission. Cont'd ...

Does the cfl have the same three-years-removed-from-high-school rule as the nfl? Could they afford to outbid the sec for top high school talent?

Not sure on year limits, but they can have a limit on how many Americans are on each team. There's a quota... that alone means they're not likely to waste those spots on HS kids, even if there is no rule about it.

Who’s That Guy? The Colts’ Duron Carter, the Most Intriguing Rookie in Football

The most intriguing rookie in the NFL might be a guy who wasn’t even drafted. He’s definitely the rookie I’m most excited to watch. When I heard Duron Carter’s name mentioned last week, I remembered the hype that surrounded him as a high school player. It wasn’t long before I had fallen into a wormhole researching what has happened to him since his prep days.

Let’s all get caught up together now.

Who Is He? Duron Carter, 6-foot-5, 206-pound receiver for the Colts.

Where Is He From? Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
