Well, this would seriously suck:
Teams in Indianapolis fully Brandon Carr will end up a member of the Dallas Cowboys via free agency.. |
Carr is a stud, and it raises another question mark about Pioli that he essentially chose to go with Routt instead of him.

They absolutely could retain both Carr and Bowe with no problem.
The thing is, they aren't going to get close to the cap until they are forced to via the floor...which I think is enforced next year.
Carr to Dallas would suck, he's a very good CB, not somewhere I want to see him go. Carl Nicks there to would also be very shitty. I hope not.
How can they afford 2 FA's that are probably going to command the most $ for their positions? That would also free up Dallas to really improve their team in the draft, by a pretty substantial amount given those are 2 of their biggest needs.
Even so, though, the Chiefs need to use that cap room elsewhere...they could have Carr in addition to Routt and, along with Flowers, Berry, Arenas, etc., have the best secondary in football, but that would be at the expense of other need positions that they have to address in order to take the next step. My point being that there was still an inherent choice in signing Routt--they knew their chances of retaining Carr at that point dropped dramatically.
Problem with Nmadi, as some have pointed out on here, he can only play one side of the field.
And at 31, he might play better next year but for the investment they made he isn't even close to the player they thought they were getting. Very overrated IMO.
