Carter? He's our best pass rusher but he's not in the class of some of the top pass rushers in the NFL. So again, not worth the $ he's being paid.

Carter's not being paid like a premeir pass rusher. He got a $10 million signing bonus, total contract value worth $5-6 million per year. Take a look at the contracts of a guy like Dwight Freeney - six years $72 million ($12 million per year with a $30 million bonus).

Carter's being paid "good defensive end" money. Freeney is being paid elite DE money.

ARE is debatable and I agree we're probably overpaying a bit, but not by that much. Do I need to pull contract values on elite WRs? I don't think we're overpaying by enough to label him as a bust. I'll compromise with you and call him a mild disappointment so far.
