Cowboys "covet" free agent CB Brandon Carr
According to Pro Football Weekly, the Cowboys "covet" free agent CB Brandon Carr and are expected to "go all in for him" when the market opens.
Carr is a big, physical corner with experience in both man and zone schemes, and he'd be a sizable upgrade on Terence Newman at left cornerback. The Cowboys can release Newman after March 13 and "designate" him a post-June 1 cut, saving over $6 million in cap space. Carr will command a pretty penny, but the secondary was Dallas' most glaring weakness for much of last season. Related: Cowboys

Yep. It's the Patriot Way...

I hope so, but wouldn't you be a little scared to offer him a big new contract without know if he could play at the same level?

JFC I don't get the debate on this topic guys......
Keeping the franchise tag powder dry is the smart thing to do, though. You have to give it up for Pioli for that. Right now, neither Bowe nor Carr know who might get the tag. If either one of their agents blinks, it's all over and we can keep them both. That is my hope, anyhow.

The way I look at it, if Bowe is truly a #1 receiver (in Pioli's squinty eyes), we would have to pay him - or somebody very much like him - #1 money. That's just a given in the league. Which means, of course, that we should be able to strike a reasonable deal (assuming that Bowe even wants to stay with the Chiefs), then use the tag on Carr. If we can't, Routt is our hole card.

The question right now is whether or not Bowe wants to continue playing with a quarterback the caliber of Cassel ... and that's a real good question.

I realize that you can't always get that value, but in this case we could have and may still. The point here is that Bowe is worth more to us than anyone else, and we should never have to use the tag on him. Just come to an agreement and make the deal. Put the tag on Carr because we can't keep him and get a pick for losing him. I'm not saying use the tag on Carr and cut Bowe. That would be full reerun.

You are entitled to your opinion but so am I and I know what I saw this year and distinctly remember seeing things that made me wonder what was up with his play.

Did I say he sucked and I didn't want him back? Did I say he was a bad CB? No I said I think he took a step back from 2010 and well there is statistical analysis to back it up.

But just call it a reeruned post because you are so objective.

Funny thing is look back at the beginning of the season on threads here, and you would see people with the same concerns.

Obviously.

This is the whole reason for Routt. If KC gets into a bidding war with Dallas, he'll end up the highest paid CB in the league. Dallas has been eyeing him all offseason like that seedy guy checking out your girl.

Pioli & Crennel knew all along they weren't gonna be able to resign Carr.

By giving us lip service they won't look so bad when they say we tried to sign him but we just couldn't match what he was being offered in FA.

I won't be too sad to see Carr leave. I love him as a player, but Routt is pretty good in press coverage. I'm expecting our pass rush to be pretty effective this coming season between Hali and Houston (who won't be splitting valuable snaps with Studebaker).

I only hope that Lewis is actually pretty decent and he wasn't just a product of Carr being such a beast. If Kendrick is as good as I think he is (which is a pretty good center fielder), we won't really see the drop off from Carr to Routt. If all else fails, Eric Berry will come back to ease my fears...

I think we'll see a drop-off in that position. I have a hard time believing that Routt will play as well or as consistently as Carr will this season. I've seen nothing but improvement in Carr since he came on board. Plus, he's a warrior. He will play through pain.

However, your points regarding Houston, Lewis, and Berry are well taken, Mr. ThaVirus. I agree with you. Given those changes, it's perfectly reasonable to anticipate overall improvement in the secondary due to a more effective rush and better safety play.

And that isn't necessarily lip service..........just a fact.

I think with Carr gone and Routt replacing him and Berry being back our secondary will be overall much improved over this year. Berry changes EVERYTHING and this will be a non-topic come game 1. We'll see Carr wasn't all that and given our many other defencies giving him more than Routt money doesn't make any sense for this team going forward.

How? We could give Bowe and Carr both 20 million this year and still have 25 million in cap room.

The unfortunate thing is it appears Routt's contract is structered in a way that it could be terminated after a single year and be both cheap and cap friendly.

If the Chiefs were able to tag Carr, they would be in a solid position to get 1 year with both CBs before making a decision on which to keep.

It could have come together nicely if they were able to get Bowe signed.
