Since then, we have given Stanford Routt a lot of money (and took a dead money hit against the cap this year for cutting him)...and now are giving about 12 to the combination of Robinson and Smith.
Nevermind that Smiths absolute highest achievable ceiling is what Carr was already offering us and Dante Robinson was done LAST YEAR.

how much do you think he would have cost if we bid more than dallas? I really liked carr, but did you really want 22m a year just to our 2 starting cbs?
Thats almost 20 percent of the cap to 2 guys. Its bad enough w had irresponsible contacts with tyson jackson, and tamba hali. We couldn't dedicate that much money to 1 more player. Put it this way, bowe would begone if we had signed car r
