The agent for CFL wide receiver Duron Carter is talking with the Minnesota Vikings, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Cleveland Browns to try to work out a deal according to Ben Goessling of ESPN.

Carter could be one of the feel-good stories of 2015 and beyond. The son of Hall-of-Fame wideout Cris Carter was a four-star recruit coming out of high school and signing with Ohio State but attitude problems and off-the-field shenanigans derailed his college career and nearly destroyed his life. He has since gotten his head on straight from all indications and has been a massive star in Canada the past two years. Carter conducted a whirlwind workout tour for a variety of teams earlier this month and will have his choice of lucrative deals. At 6'5'' and turning 24 in March, he will likely get a big signing bonus on a reserve/futures deal and has the talent and size to make a major impact in the NFL.

Longtime fans would be particularly thrilled to see him wearing the same Vikings purple as his dad.

We don't need, or want, another WR with attitud3 problems regardless of their "potential"

We. Got. To. Get. This. Guy.

For real.

His problem wasnt attitude, it was his grades. I'm not saying that he didnt have any immaturity issues that a normal 18 yr old kid goes thru, but it was his classwork.

And he played two seasons without problems in a professional league. I don't see any issue with signing Carter.

I would definitely give him a shot... he has always been talented.
