"He's just an excellent veteran football player," new coach Mike McCarthy told media after the signing. "Had a chance to compete against Brandon over the years, and obviously he played well in Baltimore last year. The thing I'm very attracted to is his flexibility to play multiple positions. I think he's a very good fit for our group."

Needless to say, new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan agrees.

"Well obviously he's an experienced player," Nolan said of Carr. "He's played corner for a long time, but also at safety when he was in Baltimore. He's got some versatility. We're trying to improve our depth on the back end and I think he adds to that depth.
"So, like I said his experience and versatility would be the two things I like the most."

It's undetermined if he'll suit up for Week 1, considering he needs to acclimate to the playbook and new system under McCarthy and Nolan after having just signed on Sunday, but sources tell CBS Sports it's a foregone conclusion he'll be on the field for the Cowboys soon. From there, it's a matter of what he can do and what they'll ask of him, but Carr is all in on helping McCarthy hoist a Lombardi Trophy after the head coach admitted it's Super Bowl or bust for Dallas in 2020.

"I'm just so consumed on trying to figure out a way to get a ring," Carr said. "I've been playing for, this will be 13 years now. I don't have any hardware. The [ironman] streak is fine, but I want to end this game with some hardware, the ultimate team trophy."

They just refuse to get a legit S. McClay/Jones boys can you go get an above average NFL Safety?

I don't want to hear ish from the FO about the secondary, at all.

Dude, we "landed on our feet" when we signed Carr.

Thanks, Jerry.
It's honestly a shame that jerry owns dallas because every interview they are scared of him. He and his son need to get gut punched.

With Carr on board, we should have the inside track to the facts on Thomas. If he's ok, I bet we sign him.

Also OBJ had one big game against us in four years as a Giant. He had one game with 146 yards, one of 94, one of 73, three under 50 yards and then missed two games.

Fast, quick players are a bad matchup for Carr, especially with inadequate S help.

I'll take my chances on Carr over Darian Thompson.

Love Carr but this is an indication of how weak our secondary is if we have to sign a 13 yr vet just cut by another team. Having said that, he will be an upgrade and a veteran influence for the young guys.
