Cris Carter Headed Out Of Minnesota?
According to Jay Glazer of CBS Sportsline, Cris Carter's Viking career might be over even if he decides not to retire. According to Sportsline, which obtained a copy of Carter's contract, he has qualified for an option to void the final five years of his contract on Feb. 28, or the last day of this league year. Carter has reached certain performance-based incentives that can void his deal and allow him to leave the Vikings to become an unrestricted free agent.
"He won't be back in Minnesota," said one person close to the future Hall of Famer. "He'd be a perfect fit for a place like Denver or to rejoin Brian (Billick, his former offensive coordinator with the Vikings and now head coach of Ravens). He'd play again if the right TV job doesn't open up."
Carter's relationship with coach Dennis Green has badly soured in the past few weeks. In fact, the sources say his coach is one of the primary reasons why Carter will look to leave Minnesota shortly after the season ends.
