Wed, 09 May 2012 04:55:53 -0700 Former NFL WR Cris Carter said he put "bounties" on opposing players as a form of protection during his career. Carter said that he would offer money to teammates to take out players he thought were trying to take him out. "I'm guilty of (bounties) - I mean, first time I've ever admitted it - but I put a bounty on guys before," Carter said. "I put bounties on guys. If a guy tries to take me out, a guy takes a cheap shot on me? I put a bounty on him right now!"
Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:24:10 -0800 ESPN analyst Cris Carter, a former teammate of retired WR Randy Moss with the Minnesota Vikings, said he has no doubts Moss would arrive to a team in great shape. Carter also believes Moss still has blazing speed. However, Carter wonders whether Moss would quit on a team if things do not go his way. "The one thing you have to address with Randy Moss is not a conditioning thing," Carter said. "It's not an age thing. It needs to be addressed. I believe it's the elephant in the room. It's that thing called quit. And Randy, not like any other superstar I've met, he has more quit in him than any of those other players ... Randy, when things don't go well, like no other player I've ever been around or associated with, he has a quit mechanism in him that's huge. That needs to be addressed before he signs with any team."
