Duron Carter is an explosive receiver in every sense.

He is capable of making game-breaking plays or, alternatively, creating a chasm within a team due to his combustible nature.

Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach and general manager Chris Jones is apparently willing to live with any baggage Carter may carry.

Justin Dunk of 3downnation.com reported Sunday that the Roughriders are “on the verge” of signing Carter, who was dumped by the Montreal Alouettes late last season. He had earlier clashed with quarterback Rakeem Cato.

Last summer, Carter had controversially bumped into Ottawa Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell after scoring a touchdown. That indiscretion earned Carter a one-game suspension.

Dunk, citing multiple sources, noted that Carter’s deal with Saskatchewan “will likely not include any up-front money” and be worth roughly $130,000 during the 2017 CFL season.

Considering those terms, the Roughriders would be assuming little, if any, risk by signing the 25-year-old Carter.
