A low-risk reserve/future flier on an undrafted cornerback with limited pro pedigree. Five headlines covered the move, mostly noting Carter's viral Beckham-like interception at Robert Morris. The strongest signal here is the reserve/future contract designation — a camp body audition, nothing more. Fans are mildly intrigued by the highlight-reel INT but expect minimal impact on the roster. Carter faces long odds to crack the 53-man squad but could compete for a practice squad spot.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Indianapolis Colts — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Rob's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Rob is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
