All-America wide receiver Anthony Carter of the University of Michigan has retained sports attorney Bob Woolf as his agent and will begin serious negotiations with the Michigan Panthers of the new USFL.
“I talked with Carter on Monday,” Woolf told UPI Thursday, “and I met with him yesterday in West Palm Beach Florida. He authorized me to negotiate with the United States Football League for him.”
The Panthers, who reportedly have offered $2 million for a four-year contract, thought they had three meetings set with Carter last weekend but the NCAA record-holder for all-purpose yardage average did not show up for any of them.
“We have been in touch with the Panthers and they are going to get back with us on setting up a meeting,” Woolf said. “We are going to conduct good faith negotiations. I've always had an open mind to these new leagues. I've been a sports attorney for 20 years.”
Carter was a territorial selection of the Panthers. He is expected to be a first round draft choice by the NFL if he elects to pass on the Panthers.
