Sometimes that's true. How much would the Chiefs have offered to beat out the Cowboys for Carr? 60 million? Carr wanted to go to a bigger city. That's why Pioli signed Routt before FA even started. Carr was out the door.
Really, Orton did too. He wanted to be in Chicago. But he settled for Dallas. Orton didn't even wait around and see how the FA market played out to see if he could compete for a job. He went straight to Dallas and signed to be a backup. I've yet to hear anyone anywhere give a reasonable explanation for that. Yet we continue to think otherwise, a year later now.
