That's true, and while he's not a playmaker, I think he's a decent second cornerback. Solid and reliable. But I don't know if he's a player a team actively seeks out or knee looking to up and leave if he can get paid a fair price to stay put.
I'd like to keep Carr if possible. Do we have a replacement for him that will hold his own 17 games of the season? I would like for him to be our second best corner. Would be a good problem to have.

I would at least make modest offers to our FA that the Cowboys may have interest in. I certainly would not pay top money for any on the other hand a decent offer should be made

I agree, they are a poor bunch, but until we have credible others in place, well ...

Carr will generate some interest. Perhaps Church. But none of those 4 players should get offered big money because they simply aren't worth it. At least 2 return to the Cowboys and maybe more.
I'd like to have Carr and Wilcox. Some continuity in the secondary can't hurt. I don't think either will require Big money

Gimme, just to be fair,, you don't have any affiliations with CNN do you?
Well, I wrote a supportive letter to the hapless Don Lemon, and I still pine for the weather lady Karen McGinnis ... Later she wrote to me that the no-contact order was a bit much. And we are friends now and exchange scrapbook material. I have hopes that I can win her heart if it wasn't for that rich male model she dates.:angry:

It wouldn't shock me if Carr, Mo, Church and Wilcox each get deals that make us take a pass. There's a lot of really crappy secondary play in the league.

That would leave us with:
CB- Brown, Scandrick, Leon McFadden
S- Jones, Heath, Frazier

Both would need depth at least and I would think this would make CB, specifically, a priority in the draft. We'd probably need at least one vet in the CB rotation, too. I'm not sold on McFadden playing meaningful snaps. There's an argument to be made that CB would then be a higher need than DE at this point - just from sheer numbers if nothing else.

I suppose it's possible that Showers could be a player at safety, but I'd hate to think we are an injury away from relying on the former UTEP QB.

We may need to overpay somebody at CB just to avoid a catastrophe.


I think Mo will be back.

Well I apologize then. If you're a Cowboys fan, you can't be all bad. Kumbaya

You hurt my feelings for 4 seconds but a bird that flew by made me forget.
Blimey! Now that kumbaya song will be on my mind all day! I had the awful "Rock the Boat" on me mind, today. Me mum was being tormented by "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo." It vexed her no end, ghostface. Hey another bird ...!
