That was quick.

FA signings ain't what they used to be....

I know he gets a lot of hate but would like Carter back. He led the team with interceptions his last season and was the most reliable LB.

Bring him in, shouldn't cost to much and let him compete

I'd bring him back for around vet min. Couldn't hurt.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Between he and Durant... time to get the gang back together.

 

[CF74]

Gets a contract, then loses his starting job to Kwon Alexander, must be fresh and ready to go.

 

[skinsscalper]

The problem with Carter is the same as it's been his entire career: he takes more than one season to acclimate himself to a defensive scheme and be effective. The first year in a system he doesn't trust his knowledge of the scheme enough to stop thinking and just play. Once he gets comfortable he's pretty damned effective. That said, I would consider him for a cap friendly deal. He's already familiar with our scheme and a full off-season back in the program should get him right back to speed.

He'd be a depth signing, at best, but I wouldn't hate it.

 

[dagreat1_87]

jesus what is wrong with this guy? he had so much potential.

 

[Stash]

That was quick.

Yeah, but I think we all knew that contract was terrible.

 

[DC Cowboy]

This, vet min.

 

[Stash]

I'd bring him back in a second if it meant we didn't squander the #4 overall pick on Myles Jack.

The #4 pick is going to a tight end, Jerry is determined to get a tight end to go with Witten and face it Escobar and Hanna aren't getting any younger.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Yeah, but I think we all knew that contract was terrible.

Yep. The Durant contract was stooped. The Carter contract given by the Bucs was even worse. The Bucs have been especially bad at free agency.

 

[basstapp]

Losing your job to Kwon Alexander doesn't mean you are a bad player. Sign him and have him replace wilbur.

 

[Spectre]

Not sure what y'all are talking about. I know folks like to convince themselves a player is no longer any good because he joined some other team. Carter is better than a vet. min., depth only guy. Bring him on back.

Terrible work ethic and lazy. That's why I wouldnt give him much. Maybe 2 mil a year tops

Yeah, I think we all knew that they were mistakes as soon as we saw them. Although it was a lot more palatable watching other teams making them.

Carter is young enough that it might make some sense to bring him back. I think Durant is a good veteran but the injuries are too frequent.

 

[Aven8]

Would rather have him over Durant.

 

[Alexander]

Wilber might be cheaper though.
