The star pass-catcher was released, alongside his cousin Kenny Stafford, by the Montreal Alouettes back in October after a season that was not short on controversy. Despite stellar play on the field, Carter was suspended for a well-documented run-in with Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell, and also had two separate disputes with quarterback Rakeem Cato during practice.
Carter, 25, is in his first season back in Montreal after joining the team as a free agent early this year. The Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. native spent two seasons with the Alouettes from 2013 through 2014 before landing south of the border with the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts.
Throughout three seasons with the Alouettes, Carter logged 2,877 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns.
