Re-Signing Brandon Carr: What Do You Do

Nor should they. This is just one of those business decisions where you have to take the lesser of two bad roads:

1. Let him walk.

2. Pay your starting corners $100 million.

I vote to let him walk, given those choices. There are good corners you can find on the market, the draft is loaded in the first three rounds, Jalil Brown has starter upside, and Travis Daniels and Javier Arenas can man the position for another year should we find ourselves in a tough spot.

It sucks, but you can't have every present under the Christmas Tree.

Say we don't sign him. Do you have a player or position you would throw the money at that Carr would have signed for?

Probably. I was scanning expiring contracts for this upcoming offseason and there are a couple tackles and a few wide receivers I'd be happy to load the Chiefs up with. If Miami somehow lets Kendall Langford or Paul Soliai go, I'd throw $50 million at either.

Tackles & WR's? That's your plan? You would rather give them 50 Mill than a good, homegrown CB?
