No one's going to trade for a $3.9mill Fred Smoot contract, but Carter and Griffin's contracts look reasonable enough.

Carter gets a 7 million dollar roster bonus in August. A lot of teams may be more uncomfortable with that than we are.

Plus, couldn't you argue that a lot of guys would be double digit sack guys with Phat Al and Orakpo on the same line?

The criticism that I have heard on Carter is that basically he is a one move guy and a liability against the run. I like him but it seems that he just isn't worth was his deal pays him.
