He is on Mike & Mike right now and they were talking about tough coaches like Parcells. He said he would LOVE to play for a coach like that. Then said he got a call from Parcells and was asked how quickly can he get over to Giants Stadium. Chris said, I will pack a bag and will get over there right now.
He got in the car and then his agent called and told him he had to go to Minnesota. Carter said he was pissed because he wanted to be a Giant and play for Parcells.
I guess the Vikings snatched him up right before the Giants could.
Wonder what our offense would have looked like with Carter.
Not as bad as Reggie White to the Giants but a bad memory.
It wasnt slow in filing the paperwork...Carter was on waivers and Minnesota was before them in the claims process...

that it was THIS close to happening and that the Giants were just slow in filing the paperwork. Also did not realize how badly he wanted to come here.

Oh so, Parcells just assumed that Carter would fall to the Giants then.
Victor - Buddy said that to protect CC. When Ryan the Senior was asked why the Eagles cut him, that was his answer. He didn't want to reveal the real reason. Give him credit, even though you, and many of us, dislike him.

What was the real reason? I know he was in trouble a lot in college but I don't remember what happened here.
