Bringing Carr and Claiborne back sends the message that mediocrity is rewarded here. Move on.

Agreed.

Lat time I checked, Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne were both among the bottom ten CBs in the NFL as graded by PFF. Why continue paying money to players who give up lots of plays while rarely getting PBUs and 0 interceptions?

Neither player was acquired to play in Rod Marinelli's defense.

It's time to go in another direction.

Again I ask what direction?

Yes, free agency MAY provide us with an answer....but it's quite a risk.

Why not keep Carr (especially at a reduced rate) and see what we can get?

I remind you...we have Orlando Scandrick coming off an ACL injury and two practice squad rescues. Do you really want us going into the draft and free agency with three questionable CBs?

Cap situation. projected 153.8
cap space 10.2 mil
roll over 10.1
rookie cap 9.2
So without any modifying contracts or releases Dallas will have 11.1 mil to spend

Restructures:
Brandon Carr: I think Dallas and Claiborne are ready to move on. Carr shouldnt be starting and probably wont but Dallas still owes him money in 2016, and 2017. His value is low, i would just Ask him to cut his base salary to vet mil which is 858k mil for him and 4.717 mil in guaranteed money for 2016, add a 2nd yr with a 1-2mil base and his 2.717 mil thats still on the books. Dallas gains 8.252 mil on the cap. taking it to 19.352 that Dallas has to spend minus the rookie cap. If he doesnt accept then you release him and save 7.434 on the cap and spending goes to 18.834 mil. But i think he will accept. I dont see a team paying Carr 5mil+.
adjusted cap space 19.352mil

Tyron Smith, Restructure 8mil of his base
Adjusted cap space 27.352mil

Tyrone Crawford, his deal was made for this. Restructure 6mil
Adjusted cap space 33.352 mil

Releases:
Barry Church, I see no difference between Church and Wilcox. Both are bad in coverage with Church being slightly better at tackling. Church is more expensive and i think there will be a new S to go with Jones starting in 2016. Saves 2.75mil
Adjusted cap space 36.12mil

So with this scenario 4 moves would free this team up to alot. 45.32mil in cap room but 36.12 to spend as you always have to account for the rookie contracts.

With no big FAs to resign this team should be big players in FA.

Have you seen how much money the rest of the league has to spend? There are only 6 teams with less cap space. We are not going to get into bidding wars in a subpar free agent class.:rolleyes:

This is all under the assumption that the brass in Dallas knows what they are doing and wont screw it all up. The problem is that they have something called history going against them.

Its better than going in with a few bad CB's that are over paid.
