Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.
Including now, HOF WR #80 Cris Carter

Guessing the Vikings didn't offer him that much. Bit surprised at some of these numbers
Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero 23m23 minutes ago
No bonus on ex-CFL WR Duron Carter's 3-year, $1.575M deal with #Colts but $25K of 2015 base salary is guaranteed. Injury splits in Yrs 1/2.

For comparison, Cam Wake got a $500K bonus from #Dolphins in 2009. Very modest investment in Cris Carter's son. Shows market wasn't huge.

Better comp: #Vikings gave Manny Arceneaux a $75K bonus in 2011 -- triple the guarantee fellow receiver Duron Carter got on a similar deal.

Is Arceneaux still on the Vikings?

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

No he's long gone. I don't think he's even in the league anymore to be honest
