When it comes to the best bargains in Minnesota Vikings history, wide receiver Cris Carter sits near the top of the list. Claimed off of waivers for a mere 100 dollars prior to the 1990 NFL season, Carter’s life was changed forever when he moved to Minnesota.
His first three seasons were spent in Philadelphia, and although he was productive (including 11 touchdown receptions in 1989), drug abuse and alcohol issues ultimately led to head coach Buddy Ryan cutting Carter before his fourth season.
