Cowboys must sign CB Brandon Carr soon or risk being shut out

The Cowboys are still trying to entice Brandon Carr to sign.

The urgency of closing this deal has increased for the Cowboys.

Three of the top cornerbacks available have come off the free agent market since the Cowboys began their negotiations with Carr Tuesday evening. Cortland Finnegan has agreed to a five-year deal with St. Louis believed to be in the $50 million range while Carlos Rogers took a reported four-year, $31 million deal to stay in San Francisco. Earlier this morning, Eric Wright agreed to a five-year deal with Tampa Bay.

There is no where else for the Cowboys to turn in free agency to upgrade the cornerback position the way it needs. If the Cowboys don't come to terms with Carr, and do it quickly, the club risks being shut out of its key objective.

That puts Carr in the driver's seat in these negotiations.

Great. Now the little turd, who we're supposed to swoon over just because Jerry and company targeted him in FA, has all the leverage.

Remember.... Jerry may not be a personnel guy, but he is a GREAT businessman.

I'd like to see us get him, although I still think the best signing for the team and the defense is Mario Williams

 

[Midswat]

We signed him last night.

Relax.

This is all we needed to know:

I heard that Rob and Carr were having breakfast in Dallas this morning... and that he should be signing today.

Cowboyjoe:

This just in. Rob kept stealing from Carr's plate. Deal's off.

 

[Theebs]

Archer just said he expects the deal to be very similar to finnegan's deal.

He also said they have not talked to Grubbs people yet.

He said he has not heard anything about any lineman being contacted...speculating that they will fix the lie in the draft.

He said he thinks Grubbs will get about 7 million and that is too much for them and the loss of the 5 million is affecting that and the non tendering of fiametta and Holley.

If that's the case don't expect anymore top free agent signings.

Carr, then maybe Davis and Orton. What's Connor's dollar range?

He wont be overly expensive

 

[Sheik]

They'll fix the line through the draft?

No. They'll probably try. Maybe draft DeCastro, then Blindly take 2 or 3 other mid to late round stabs at some lineman.

They tried that last year. It didn't work. FFS, fix the line and stop taking risks with it. Idiots.

Yea it'd be tits if they just cleared the decks and did it. Nothing more fun than watching good line play
