Frankly, I wouldn't make a decision on Carr until after the draft. We don't have to cut him for cap space, so what benefit is there in cutting him now?
After the draft, we'll definitely have a better idea of where we stand with the CB group.
If we don't end up needing the money, he's in a tough spot. We can hang onto him through the draft and until the starting positions league-wide are pretty much filled. It's in our interest to do so, in case somebody gets hurt somewhere along the way, too. We probably would want to spread the cap hit out over two years, too.
He's really over the barrel with Claiborne and Robinson on board. Everybody thinks he's got leverage on us, but he really doesn't have anything at all. The market is going to tell him what he's worth now, and it's a lot less than what we're scheduled to pay. He'd be stupid not to just redo his deal and stay here. If he does, we let Claiborne walk next year, keep Carr and Robinson and Scandrick, and backfill the young CB spot in the draft either this season or next. Probably next.
If he doesn't, we take the CB a year early, and cut him loose.
