"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."
