Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the son of former Vikings receiver Cris Carter didn&#8217;t do enough on a tryout basis at the team&#8217;s rookie minicamp to get the team to offer him a contract.

The news suggested that the Vikings will cut Kluwe on Monday, barring an abysmal performance from Jeff Locke.  Kluwe&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=profootballtalk.nbcsports.com&#038;blog=15932921&#038;post=2070448&#038;subd=nbcprofootballtalk&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
