Carr to the fans

[Shogun]

for whoever cares about the sentimental stuff

@BCarr39

#ChiefsNation: thank you for an amazing 4 years. You will always have a special place in my heart. No love lost. I will cherish the memories


@BCarr39

Thank you Herm Edwards for the opportunity of playing @ this elite level. Took a chance on me. An absolute honor to play for him!


@BCarr39

Thank you to my former teammates. I will cherish our memories as well while I will continue to pray and root for you guys.

[BigChiefFan]

Pretty cool. He'll be missed.

[wazu]

Traitor.

[Bambi]

who?

[Shogun]

he tweeted #Cowboynation afterwards.... ugh. I hate the Cowboys. It pains me to hear him say that.

[dallaschiefsfan]

I hope he does well. However, I'm pretty sure he'll lose some luster as a team's #1 CB. Regardless, he will be a MASSIVE upgrade to Newman.

[Chiefs=Champions]

Class act. Great player. Derserves it, he worked hard.

[Okie_Apparition]

I don't know how long the grace period is
But he's a fucking Cowboy now & he'll be a star because of it

[Fritz88]

Herm can draft CBs.

[royr17]

Hate to see him a cowboy, but its the opportunity he wanted to be a # 1 cb. Goin to be odd as hell not seeing him playing for the Chiefs next year.

[BigChiefFan]

I know the Cowboys have to be pinching themselves for getting a top-tier, starting CB in FA at that price tag and age.

[SPchief]

Did he give a shout out to stevie johnson?

[CoMoChief]

Brotha's gotta get paaaaaid

[Canofbier]

Class act. Great player. Derserves it, he worked hard.

Agreed. I hope he does as well as he possibly can on a personal level while still letting the Cowboys lose.

[AZChief]

i think who he didn't thank is more telling than who he did...

[Demonpenz]

i can't believe the let him go. He is good.

[Bugeater]

Dude obviously has no fucking clue what the phrase "no love lost" means.

[BigChiefFan]

Dude obviously has no ****ing clue what the phrase "no love lost" means.

I was just thinking the same thing. I think he meant it as, he hasn't lost any love for the fanbase, but we know that's not what the term means.

[Imon Yourside]

@Stanford Routt Waves...well..... bye.....

[EPodolak]

I was just thinking the same thing. I think he meant it as, he hasn't lost any love for the fanbase, but we know that's not what the term means.


By the time he retires from being a cowboy he'll have full appreciation of the term. I'd bet.

:LOL:

[Simply Red]

Yep, he married the first girl he banged, Jerry Fucking Jones scooped him up, way to shop around, Rook.

LMAO

[RealSNR]

Possibly my favorite player on the entire team past two seasons. :(

[Direckshun]

Talk about the right 53.

Sad to see him go. Love that he got paid for all his hard work.

[BigChiefFan]

I said it earlier, but the Cowboys have to be pinching themselves that they landed a top-tier FA, at his age and price tag in FA.

Short of some stellar FA acquisitions, the Chiefs were fools for letting him walk at that price.

[Wallcrawler]

If the Chiefs actually sign anyone noteworthy with the money that shouldve gone to Carr, it wont be much to talk about.

If they sit on their fecking hands like usual and spend nothing, this has to go down as one of the dumbest personell moves in team history.


With our QB situation, its going to take the 2k Ravens Defense reincarnated to get to the playoffs, let alone get a win. O-line problems notwithstanding, this team isnt scoring more than 13-17 points per game in ideal conditions with Shat at QB. Carr wouldve helped a great deal in solidifying what wouldve been one of the best secondaries in the league. Flowers, Carr, Routt, Arenas, Lewis, Berry.

Wouldve been WELL worth the money.

[Phobia]

Will miss his play on that side but he's dead to me. No longer care at this point. I'm a fan of the team and he's not on it.

[Rasputin]

I go with what Phobia is saying, but that doesn't mean I can't bitch about Pioli for this. Fuck you Pioli fuck you. I'm going to miss Carr on the other side of Brandon Flowers. Now he can go on Carr rides with Toonces the driving cat and I don't care.

[007]

i think who he didn't thank is more telling than who he did...

Yep.

[Epic Fail 007]

Hes a bum!

[Imon Yourside]

Hes a bum!

Engrish? Orly?

[spanky 52]

i think who he didn't thank is more telling than who he did...

Bingo.

[warrior]

Wish him well and f*** Pi hole

[PhillyChiefFan]

Seems like a good kid, who got a chance and made the best of it.

Wish him the best, sucks the Chiefs had to lose him.

[Hoover]

Great guy, and if we didn't have Flowers he would still be here.

[mikey23545]

FRACK!!!!!

[morphius]

Don't care any more, hate the Cowboys, not going to start liking them now.

[Bane]

Fuck the Cowpukes.If he wants to be down with them then fuck him too!

[OnTheWarpath15]

Possibly my favorite player on the entire team past two seasons. :(

Same here.

Talk about the right 53.

Sad to see him go. Love that he got paid for all his hard work.

Again, same here. Dude deserves every penny.

Best of luck, Brandon.

[Fritz88]

Again, Polio did the right thing.

We'll see about that when Casshole and Pisoli's sack of shit OC destroy the offense.

[eazyb81]

I'm happy for him. Dude came from being a no-name D2 prospect to pulling in a $50MM contract, and he's always been a good guy in the community.

I hope he tears it up in Dallas and makes Pioli and Hunt look like even bigger fools.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Again, Polio did the right thing.
Posted via Mobile Device

How exactly did he do the right thing?

Downgrading the strength of our defense over $3M a year - with over $30M in cap space?

Yeah, that's an awesome move.

[oldandslow]

No, he didn't. To spin otherwise is simply whistling past the graveyard.

[Fritz88]

What does this have to do with not re-signing Carr?

[Fritz88]

Yeah, that's an awesome move.

How big of a downgrade?

Is Routt Sabby Piscitelli 2.0?

With Berry back and the pass rush picking up, I have no concern about the secondary.

The truth is that many here are just butthurt because they liked Carr.

He went and got paid. Good for him. We got a decent #2. I am happy with that.

Routt is a very average CB.

Pass rush picking up? Do you realize that what little passrush we had was because of our CB's?

We have no idea what we'll get out of Berry - and even if he comes back 100%, he's not going to make up for the loss of Carr - completely different role on the defense.

No butthurt here. Just not willing to rationalize the decision merely because the so-called "Executive of the Decade" made it.

And surely not willing to rationalize it when it came down to $3M a year - when we have $30M in cap space.

It's a terrible decision.

Good post--:thumb: also we'll see how many penalty yards Routt will cost us plus Routt's 29 Carr 26 and getting better every year very bad decision.

[Chiefnj2]

Why is KC apparently sitting quiet in the S department? Are they going to trot Sabby and McGraw back out again?

So Carr and Flowers are the reason for our pass rush?

Damn, I wish someone had said that before we dropped 60 million dollars on Tamba Hali.

[Chiefnj2]

They had the money. They should have paid Carr. He's exactly the type of player you want on your roster.

[DaKCMan AP]

Sucks. He was the best Chief to follow on twitter. The others are pretty much unintelligible.

[OnTheWarpath15]

The sole reason?

Nope.

A big reason?

Absolutely.

We get a ton of coverage sacks.

Well, we used to...

[Chiefshrink]

Traitor.

and you would have accepted Pioli's diss offer?:shrug:

[HemiEd]

Herm can draft CBs.

Yeah, my hatred for Herm is weakening. Too bad he had to open his mouth, or actually stand on the sidelines.

You saId team though, the organization can go die in a fire.

Anyone who thinks cassel is a good qb and can lead the team has only one concern, and it is not winning.

[carlos3652]

Anybody think he wanted to play for the Cowboys more, and even if the chiefs matched the girls contract - He would still leave based on the fact that he really wanted to play for his childhood team...

Personally if I was drafted by another team, and I want to hit FA because i feel that the Chiefs want to give me a shot... I'd take less money to go there... just saying...

You dont know the circumstances of the situation, so please stop assuming...

[Agent V]

Sucks. He was the best Chief to follow on twitter. The others are pretty much unintelligible.

I like to read Brandon Flowers's tweets aloud in a British accent.

He shouldn't have been able to hit the free market.

Jamaal Charles is the worst. He probably writes on a 5th grade level and that might even be generous.

I am sorry, but this.

We had the money to pay one of our own better/younger players.
Instead, got a lesser/older version for a bit less.
Only thing that would validate not signing him is if we used the money to upgrade some key posistions. I do not see us guying after those guys, yet.

What happens if the FAgency moves on and we are still sitting on all that money? Going to overpay on 2nd/3rd level FA?

Had all season to sign bowe or carr. You only needed to sign one so you could tag the other. That is super fail that we let him walk without compensation.

You dont know the circumstances... maybe he wanted to hit the FA market and thats why he didnt sign anything until he viewed all his options... you cant force someone to sign.

That being said, i dont know if that was the case or not, but everyone is making it out to be Pioli's fault - 100% when no one knows what really happened behind closed doors.

Anyway, sad to see him go, but glad he is able to do what he wanted to do in the end.

It's Pioli's job to sign guys like Carr.

[Rain Man]

I'm bummed about this. I really liked Carr. It feels kind of like when we traded Gary Green and let Gary Barbaro walk back in the 70s.

[carlos3652]

It's Pioli's job to sign guys like Carr.

BTW, not trying to attack your view of things, I understand its Pioli's job to keep this guy. But you arent going to keep everyone - and again, we dont know the circumstances on why he didn't sign with us.

He kept - Hali, DJ, Bowe (so far), Flowers, Charles to contracts that make sense.

He brought in a capable replacement as a #2 CB - and is now adding depth to our roster which everyone has complained at the lack thereof.

I'm not a Pioli apologist, hes made mistakes... but letting Carr go, when we dont know the why's behind it... is not a mistake that you can pin on him 100% when he is resigning everyone else...

[Bowser]

I can see letting him go if the plan is to make a huge splash in free agency, either with Manning or a combination of others. Now that it seems unlikely, why would you let a player that basically sums up what you want on your team walk?

Carr on this team with Routt makes this defense tough as hell and dangerous. Without him, we have an older, not as good guy taking his place, and still no impact free agents to feel good about.

Terrible move.

It's a terrible decision.Yep. Pioli screwed the pooch on this. Short of landing some quality FAs, there is no valid reason to not have paid him.
