Chiefs Re-Signing Brandon Carr: What Do You Do

Just drop Flowers' contract in front of him and call it a day.

Pioli !@#$ed this negotiation up before the season when he didn't lock him down like he should have, when his value was extremely low and he hadn't already set his 'ceiling' for corners.

Instead he did it in a backwards order, let it drag on and lost his leverage. Now the best decision he can make is to give him the market value so he can at least maintain leverage as it relates to Bowe.

Getting Carr signed makes the franchise tag on Bowe a done deal. So lets at least try to salvage something here by giving Carr what he's going to get anyway, giving it to him now and getting some negotiating leverage back with Bowe.

Pioli really did screw the pooch here.
