Overpaid!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the Cowgirls!!

Hahahahaha…really??? A skins ‘fan’ talking about other teams overpaying ppl???? Laughable. Hopefully he can cover that stud you guys just got a bargain on in Garçon. I mean after all he’ll still have Peyton Manning throwing to him right. Come out in about 20 years maybe ppl will know who the redskins are by then.

Jerrah is still willing to make stupid deals with players that aren’t as good as the contract that is accepted. QB’s in the NFC East are still going to have career days against that terrible back field.

Completely over paid, and probably won’t make it under the cap. Cellar meet cowgirls.

But I’m here to tell you that he has been seriously over rated by this whole process. One of the top CBs in the league? No. A solid starter? Yes.

This is just one of those cases where a variety of circumstances has made a player look better than he is… like Aubrayo Franklin last year..

Having said that, you are gonna love him (as long as you have realistic expectations!)

Good luck Brandon! No one in KC has ill will, thanks for the years of service!

Two younger guys, and the Chiefs kept their #1. He wasn’t a #1 for the Chiefs. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good young corner, but he won’t by any means shut down a good #1 WR. Not by any stretch. I agree with previous posters that 50 Mil is way too much to spend on a #2 corner, who spent last year covering the other team’s #2 WR.

Makes you wonder if they have talked to the Redskins about their call with league officials and now realize the NFL has no case against the two teams.

I see alot of people saying these guys are overpaid this season… Look at the new CBA. Rookies make half of what they used to so the vets can get paid.

Well stated.

For that kind of money he better be. Although Carr doesn’t have any #1 work to prove your point. It’s a crapshoot really, I hope for your sake and his that JJ guessed right.

Cowboy fans are in for a big surprise. Great kid, good player, lots of potential but he’s in no way worth that much money. He’s a great #2 guy but don’t be surprised if his first attempt at being a #1 ends simillarly to Routt.

1M$/year less then Revis, 1.5M$/year more then Flowers….it’s laughable really.

That’s what was taking so long. It had to get done. Even if he’s just average, he’s better than T-New. For this money, he better be more than avergage.

Carr operated as a #2 corner – he will now be a potential #1 and subject to more responsibility covering top WR’s. Flowers is a #1, Carr might be as well – but nobody knows until he lines up for a season. Case in point, Ruott was awful the year after Asomugha left…some guys are very good #2′s and not #1′s. 10 million a tear is lot of money to find that out. Time will tell.

Phil Rivers to Vincent Jackson was about it.

And to the fan who said they should sign Jimmy Leohnard because he “knows the Ryan system” he played for Rex Ryan in Baltimore – not Rob.

They missed out on Nnamdi Asomugha last year and it showed (although they almost won the NFC East). But Carr fits better in Rob Ryan’s scheme.

Unless I am way off, only the Charges have really done some spending in AFC so far and who they got wasnt anything to really go crazy on….Im glad that the NFC is doing all this and not AFC….

I don’t not like Carr, I just think he’s not going to do well in Dallas. Not to mention he has played with a pretty good safety over the top and now, well, not so good.

Anywho good luck with Jackson , maclin, nicks , the French waiter and Cruz.

They now need a ILB and a saftey in FA. If they can do that, they can draft decastro and a pass rusher.

Teams know that if you put 3 people on Ware no one else can win a 1on 1. A strong pass rush makes decent CBs good and good ones look great. Ask the Giants.
