I was actually hoping the Carr deal would happen after the July deadline. Whatever money Carr will get, Cousins' agent would want more than that. I don't mind Cousins' getting paid, I just don't want us to end up like the Ravens when they gave Flacco that monster deal.

FWIW, Andrew Brandt also said this week that he believes the deal will get done.
