If they let him walk, then we just have another ****ing hole to fill.
There is no good reason to not pay the man. None. Don't care how you slice it. And don't give me this "100M Locked up corners" BS.
How much do we have locked up on DE's? How much money did they throw at a broke dick Qb?
Too much money for corners....pffff.....yeah ****ing right....
That didn't stop the Eagles from buying two legit #1's.

We don't get
nothing if Carr walks. We end up most likely with a 4th round compensatory pick in 2012. That's not nothing. We're also not having to invest $100 million in our starting corners, which limits our flexibility once we have to get up to that mandatory cap.
In addition to that, you can actually draft corners in several places throughout the draft and land a starter, unlike other positions. Carr himself was a 5th rounder.
Plus we do have serviceable corners right now with Arenas and Daniels. I'm not suggesting either of them are shutdown #2s (Arenas is developing nicely in the slot, though...) but that assures we won't have an empty cupboard should we lose Carr.
In addition, Jalil Brown with a full offseason has really great upside..
We'll see.
Edit: It'd be 2013.
