| Jerry Jones Says Cowboys 'Overpaid' For CB Brandon Carr
The Cowboys needed secondary help, so they went out and signed Chiefs cornerback Brandon Carr to a lucrative $50.1 million deal, with roughly half that money guaranteed. Locking that much money up with one player will almost always lead to questions from Cowboys fans about whether the team overpaid. But according to DallasCowboys.com writer Rob Phillips, Jerry Jones has already answered that question for fans, admitting that he overpaid for Carr, before backtracking on his previous statement. “We know we overpaid to get Carr,” Jones said at the NFL meetings. “Not overpay — we paid retail.” Whether you believe Jones or not, most would agree that the Cowboys locked up money in a position that they desperately need to fill. Cortland Finnegan, another Cowboys free agent target, cost the Rams $50 million ($27 million was guaranteed) — so maybe the Cowboys did overpay for Carr after all. Source: Dallas Morning News |
