Brandon Carr, and contracts being handed out to CBs

[jterrell]

Then please clear this up. When I look at overthecap, he is scheduled the following pro-rated bonus payouts:

2015: $4,717,000 (2 million original bonus + 2,717,000 restructured bonus)
2015: $4,717,000 (2 million original bonus + 2,717,000 restructured bonus)
2016: $2,717,000

Of course those number add up to the total dead money ($12,151,000).

So are you telling us that Carr is not guaranteed his pro-rated bonuses?

If you are, I really need to be set straight, because I don't believe that is the situation at all.

Instead, the Cowboys owe Carr Guaranteed money to the tune of over 12 million (the same amount as his dead money figure). That means he has all the leverage in the world. If he's cut, he will get that money, (plus the money he gets from another team?).

Again, this is why routinely restructuring contracts to get cap compliant is a poor way to operate in today's NFL. It has real world consequences.

he was already paid money if it is called pro-rated.

already as in the past.

carr has zero guaranteed going forward only guarantee is that he will cost us.
his leverage is based upon what it costs to have him versus not have him and replace him.

i can see him doing a deal similar to free but with larger numbers where he gets a couple years guaranteed and we get some cap savings.

Thank you for clearing that up.
