Colts Rumors: No Signing Bonus For Former CFL WR Duron Carter

The pursuit by several teams of former CFL wide receiver Duron Carter, son of former Vikings great Cris Carter, ended with the Indianapolis Colts signing the young wideout - and on a heck of a deal to boot.

Per Darin Gantt of NBC's Pro Football Talk, "according to Tom Pelissero of USA Today, Carter’s three-year deal with the Colts included no signing bonus, only a $25,000 base salary guarantee this year."

Although the market for Carter was reportedly very crowded, the nature of his contract seems to speak otherwise. Contrast Carter's guarantee with Cam Wake's $500,000 bonus that he got from the Dolphins back in 2009, and it appears Carter wasn't as coveted as initially thought.

However, if he ends up being even a servicable option at wide receiver, his three-year, $1.575 million deal will end up being a major bargain for the Colts.
