Carter was a CFL all-star last season after finishing third in the league with 1,030 receiving yards and seven touchdowns despite missing three games.

The six-foot-five, 205-pound wideout joined the Alouettes midway through the 2013 season after he was released from his tryout with the Minnesota Vikings. He amassed 909 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games as a rookie in Montreal.

The son of Hall of Famer Chris Carter, Duron Carter was set to become a free agent Feb. 10.
