Vikings TE John Carlson admitted that his 2012 season was a "debacle."
Carlson signed a five-year, $25 million contract last offseason. He sustained a knee injury in camp and never got going, catching eight balls in 14 games. Now he's accepted a pay cut and is healthy. Carlson will enter camp as the clear No. 2 tight end behind Kyle Rudolph. Jun 19 - 9:29 AM
