An NFL insider rips Pioli for letting quality players go
The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity:
• “When you are $20 million-$25 million under the cap, you can’t afford to let a homegrown guy like Brandon Carr get out of the building. Carl Peterson drafted him in the fifth round — (GM) Scott (Pioli) didn’t draft him. (Carr) is a bona fide starter and he is young and you let him get away on his first contract without getting anything in return? Go and pay him, especailly if he is so far under the cap. You are going to bring in Stanford Routt, who is getting diced by whoever he is lining up against and expect the same results? Routt can’t cover himself up at night. He is like that great mule everyone wants to ride. They could have had their two corners locked up for at least 4-5 years with (Brandon) Flowers and Carr. Instead, Carr is down in Dallas having a good season. Brian Waters had a great year in New England last year. How many good years (in Atlanta) has Tony Gonzalez had now? Enough said.” http://www.profootballweekly.com/201...op-cornerbacks |

I know paying corners that much is absurd, but the Chiefs should not have let Carr get away. He's a lock down corner in every sense of the word.
Honestly, Carr is better than Flowers.

It's a process and we are all familiar with the process and Cassel is a team leader that is gonna work hard and work tremendously hard because he is a team leader and a captain that's a hard worker and we are gonna fight through all of this and we should have high expectations in august and then lower expectations once the games start.
It's a process and we should all trust in the process. Get a clue. Your choice to be a fan. |

Carr should have been resigned no doubt.It's not like we needed the $$$ for a QB or anything.

if he had kept guys like
Waters Barth Shaun Smith Ron Edwards Pollard Wade Smith Brandon Carr Jason Babin Ill even throw in turds like Wallace Gilberry lets be honest all these veterans are better stop gaps and talent than Pioli going out and drafting and wasting picks on GUARDS, TACKLES, D-LINE, BAD CBs, every ****ing draft. These guys fill holes and depth that was already here. he could have spent draft picks elsewhere and taken gambles on potential playmakers because of what he had kept in house. but he didnt, because he thinks he can find the next Richard Seymour or Mark Bavaro or Matt Light every ****ing draft pick |

We just let guys go since we are supposedly saving the money for the next guy but we never re-sign a high profile FA of our own rarely... Patriot way!

Contrary to this report, Carr has been getting burnt up in Dallas.

And the Gonzalez thing is inexcusable, particularly when you turn him into Javier Arenas. Possibly one of the worst trades this team has ever made. |

you guys do realize this same scenario happens again this offseason but instead of Carr and Bowe it will be Albert and Bowe
so we are losing another one of our few good players that Carl + Herm drafted us for nothing, because Pioli is a stubborn doucher. |
