With Ben Goessling of ESPN reporting that Duron Carter has expressed a preference for the Minnesota Vikings above other teams, moving the Colts down the proverbial order of preference. Nothing’s done yet, as it seems like money may be what sways him.

Duron Carter said the #Vikings are his top choice at the moment. Colts are still in the mix, too. Could visit Browns, Panthers and Redskins. — Ben Goessling (@GoesslingESPN) January 9, 2015

Hearing Duron Carter could fetch a signing bonus in the neighborhood of $100K on a three-year deal. That’s big money for a CFL guy. — Ben Goessling (@GoesslingESPN) January 9, 2015

Goessling is right that that is big money for a CFL player. Top CFL receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux received league minimum and no signing bonus to join with the Vikings (and later Washington and the New York Jets). The previous report of Vikings being a favorite comes from Viking Update.

This is beginning to feel a lot like college recruiting. Don’t be surprised if he flips his decision at the last moment. As Miller reported, there could be a sleeper steal in the Carolina Panthers—the opportunity to work with Cam Newton and a depleted receiver corps, along with some money, could be big.

I still see Vikings and Colts as the Duron Carter favorites, but money talks. Could see someone stealing him @carpetkaiser — Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) January 9, 2015

Duron Carter is working out for the Vikings today, has interest from 49ers and Browns, but don’t rule out Panthers as a sleeper team — Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) January 9, 2015

He happens to have a scouting report on Duron Carter up:
