Brandon Carr Rumors & News

The KC Chiefs had a third round compensatory pick for the loss of Brandon Carr last year. That picked turned into Knile Davis, running back out of Arkansas. Davis has big-time potential with the physical skill-sets you look for in a back, especially one that you're going to play alongside Jamaal Charles. Unfortunately, there's a reason he slipped to the third round and it's injuries. Also: Meet Travis Kelce, Chiefs new TE Davis had a terrific 2010 season, earning all-SEC honors with 1,322 rushing yards on 204 carries and 13 touchdowns. He was hurt the next year -- an ankle injury,...

When comparing players at the same position, during the same year, signing new contracts, one thing is near certain: the 'better' player will receive more money, even if it's a trivial amount more. The Cowboys experienced this last offseason, as Brandon Carr received $50.1M from the Cowboys in free agency. Why the extra $100K? Cortland Finnegan, who many believe to be a lesser corner, was signed previously for $50M. In this sense, a contract is a player's concrete validation of where he stands among his peers. It's his source of pride, in much the same way an academic might pride himse...

Like every other NFL team, the Cowboys have to be under the salary cap by 4:00 pm ET tomorrow. By cutting Gerald Sensabaugh, and with the recent restructurings of DeMarcus Ware, Miles Austin, Brandon Carr, Jason Witten and Ryan Cook, the Cowboys were already safely under this year's $123 million salary cap - but only briefly. Tagging Anthony Spencer put the Cowboys over the cap again, to the tune of about $6.8 million. And while the fact that the Cowboys are one of only four teams still over the cap makes for good headlines and alarmist commentary, this situation does not catch the Co...

1. Cornerback opposite Brandon Flowers Remember when the Chiefs let Brandon Carr walk and signed Stanford Routt to a deal for pennies on the dollar compared to Carr and how that was a great move? Good times. Previously: Chiefs top 8 needs List of all Chiefs free agents Clearly, the Chiefs need another cornerback opposite Brandon Flowers, and preferably a day-one starter. Javier Arenas and Jalil Brown won't cut it over the entire season. Considering some of the cornerbacks Reid had in Philly over the years it's hard to see how the Chiefs would go into next season with their other c...

Many people, myself included, had questions regarding the Dallas cornerbacks under new defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin. On Friday, Cowboys DB Brandon Carr spoke with Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News, and answered some questions regarding the new defense. At one point in the interview, Carr was asked about the Corners increased responsibility in run support, to which he answered. "They already told us to pretty much get ready for 16 weeks of being as physical as you can be," Carr said. "Not only disrupting the timing of the receivers but also when our number is called to come...

This time every year, you see teams restructuring contracts to get themselves under the salary cap or just to free up room to make more moves. One such player is Cowboys' CB Brandon Carr, who thinks that doing so makes him a great team player. "I restructured my contract basically just to free up some money to get some more players in," Carr said Friday, according to the Dallas Morning News. "I'm a team player. I believe in getting as many guys as possible that can help us get to our goal, and that's to win a championship. "This is another step in the right direction, not only myself,...
