Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/01/2016 (3583 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
He’s got big-time game. He’s only 24. And he’s got Canadian Football League experience.
In other words, Duron Carter is exactly the kind of receiver the Winnipeg Blue Bombers — and every one of their rivals — would absolutely covet to help their offence.
The former Montreal Alouette was cut adrift by the Indianapolis Colts this week as the deadline for National Football League teams to sign players to future/reserve contracts passed without Carter being offered a deal.
A source said Tuesday the Bombers are interested in landing the 6-5 target, who had 124 catches for 1,939 yards and 12 touchdowns in 27 games with the Alouettes in 2013 and 2014 and was a CFL all-star in ’14.
Carter is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst Cris Carter.
Those are the kind of numbers that would make him coveted by every CFL team — and by a few NFL clubs that may also pursue — but especially to a Bomber squad that has been searching for a consistent deep threat for their attack.
The Bombers were second-last in passing yards in 2014 and dead last in passing TDs with just 19.
