No doubt, he won't be looking for work for long.

Thanks for the toughness AC good dude on/off the field

I thought this might happen. He is worthless in the 3-4. No sense in paying the guy to be a backup.

I agree about his 3-4 struggles, but couldn't the FO have tried holding him until the CBA was signed, then traded him for at least a 7th round pick? For that matter, the FO screwed up not trading him last year coming off a 10 sack season when Shanny first announced the switch to a 3-4. Carter's last season in SF was evidence enough that he was a poor fit, but he certainly should have gotten us a draft pick in return last year. FO Fail.

I totally agree.
Not only that...but they could have traded Haynesworth, Portis, Rogers too.
All had decent value....and we may end up with none of them on the team with zero in return.

I would argue we could have gotten at the time
Haynesworth - 2nd
Carter - 3rd
Portis - 3rd
Rogers-3rd

Imagine if we had those pick this year! or even half of them

With the exception of Haynesworth, I have no idea how you believe those players have that much value, particularly portis.

They don't...Now...but they arguably did prior to this season...some people believed portis was going to have another breakout year under Shanny.

Portis was declining, true...but...he's a starting RB in the league and "arguably" that alone could make him worth a 3rd rounder...maybe a low one...but possible...now his worth is maybe a 6th rounder (if his contract was easy to swallow)
Carter is the same, Haynesworth is probably a 4th, rogers probably a 5th.

Of course, I am just throwing out my opinion, but these 4 have clearly had their value plummet this year in trade value...that is my main point.
It would have been nice to get good value before they declined.

Not easy to trade someone with a no trade clause and a roster bonus due these days. It's not like they didn't try

I am so happy we are cutting the fat of this team not that I dont like these guys getting cut but about freaking time...... I wonder what the players on team feel like. I am glad we finally have someone driving the car.

NC_Skins · 03-01-2011, 07:25 PM

I loved having somebody of AC's calibur when it comes to off the field character and on the field work ethic. It's a shame he didn't fit the scheme, but I do wish him well on his journey. Thanks Andre!

Longtimefan · 03-01-2011, 07:28 PM

Carter nor Dockery's release is what you would call a surprise. They both knew it was coming....... good luck to both.

Thanks Andre. Great effort and productivity.
