Duron Carter

**Bleeds Double Blue** · 08-11-2018, 11:55 PM

Duron Carter was released by Saskatchewan today. Is he the deep threat we seem to lack or is there too much baggage to make signing him worthwhile? Your thoughts please.

My thought is the same as just posted in the Sask team thread : ))

Sign him.

Moderators, I did not see the similar thread in the Sask team forum. Sorry about that. My bad. Feel free to deete this thread if you want.

I have serious doubts that Trestman would be interested in him. I can see him going back to Montreal.

Well he's not a Rider anymore and the spec is about him coming here. I'd like to see him here as he's certainly better than a couple of the import receivers we have. As long as we don't make him a DB we should not see Mr Ordinary here.

i think he would be a good addition to the argos and certainly help stretch the field as he instantly gives argos a deep play threat

jim popp certainly knows of carter as he played in mtl for 2 years

Why not?

Oh mighty Pinball will talk to him.

Realistically though, I agree with Angelo's post.

This has always bugged me about the CFL. Stars getting released before Labour Day for whatever reason, usually financial. It’s hard to be a fan when your team changes so often, even mid season. CFL players are so disposable. It’s a continued cycle: player signs for cheap, progresses to the point where they deserve a larger contract, then team decides they are not worth that money and they start over with one of the thousands of other players willing to play for peanuts.

I believe Popp already released Carter mid season, so I doubt he would consider him again, even though the Argos could use his talent. Montreal is the most likely destination in the CFL. If I was his agent, I would recommend getting his name out there and signing with one of the two American leagues starting up. Better money than looking for a job at a reduced rate in the CFL.

Too much baggage and high maintenance.

Agreed. Hopefully the CFLPA does a better job of negotiating this time around.

I’m told #Alouettes #Argos #BCLions #TiCats have all reached out to Duron Carter. Some have made contract offers. I don’t expect the other 4 teams to reach out. Carter hopes to make a decision in the next couple of days. @CFLonTSN @cfl @TSN_Sports @TSN1040

Read an article where Carters effort in practise and run plays during games are lacking.

I don’t get why a team interested wouldn’t have just offered a late pick or neg list player for him? Why compete for his services if you are interested? Surprised to see the Argos in that list, but I hope they land him. He will make SJ, Edwards and Coombs that much more dangerous.

I don't get it either. They say that trading in the CFL is difficult, because teams know once on the block, they wait for their release. But at least a trade guarantees that you now have that player.

Have never been a fan of Carter’s, however he certainly would fill an area of need and make the team better so I wouldn’t mind seeing the Argonauts get him.

While Popp was the GM when Montreal released Carter very late in the 2016 season, that was really Jacques Chapdelaine's move. If the Argos are interested, then I suspect it is because Trestman believes that the veteran leadership in Toronto is solid enough to keep Duron in line, if necessary. There is no doubt in my mind that this move by the Riders was NOT financial in nature.

'He will make SJ, Edwards and Coombs that much more dangerous.'

add cross and wilder from backfield

If he signs with the Argos, it will be an adventure.

Anyone surprised by Carter’s release clearly hasn’t been paying attention.
Amid reports that he fights with teammates and misbehaves on team flights, Carter was twice charged in the off-season with marijuana possession. On-field he is prone to taking undisciplined penalties, whining whenever the offence neglects him and loafing through plays where he isn’t the primary target.
