Vikings give $340K guaranteed to UDFA Andre Carter II

The Minnesota Vikings gave Army edge rusher Andre Carter II $340,000 in guaranteed money -- one of the largest deals ever given to an undrafted free agent, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

The haul is more than Carter would have gotten had he been selected late in the recently completed NFL draft.

Carter gets a $40,000 signing bonus and $300,000 of his base salary guaranteed by the Vikings, per the report.

Players taken late in the seventh and final round are slotted for an $80,000 signing bonus, which is the only guaranteed money they see.

Carter reportedly had multiple suitors after the draft, driving a bidding war.
