And no, teams (especially like the Rams) are not interested in signing a guy like Brandon Carr. They are teams building for the future much moreso than they are today. Why would they sign a guy for $10+ million when they can use that pick instead to draft a CB like Claiborne for a few mill? It's ridiculous to suggest that the Rams are so desperate to win now that they would trade away a blue chip pick for a guy who's going to break their bank.
If Carr were 32 I would agree, but he is still young and ascending. He would be a great pickup for them. He is a proven commodity, Claiborne is not. Did you see how awful their secondary was last year? They could definitely use him him to help stabilize that secondary.
