Finally somebody laid the smackdown on Chris Carter.

At the biggest moments, Carter was the smallest. There are no great performances like Jerry Rice in the Super Bowl. No memorable moments like Lynn Swann’s Super Bowl catches. Carter didn’t change the game in any significant way.

On top of that, he’s one of the most arrogant human beings you will encounter. He talks down to everyone, including his cohorts at ESPN. It’s not just reporters who he literally looks down his nose at, it’s fellow players. There’s a great story out there about Carter pulling his “I played the game” maneuver on an agent one time while a former teammate of Carter’s stood by.

After Carter walked away, the former teammate walked up to the agent and said, “I know how you feel, half the guys in the locker room wanted to kick his ass.”

No question Carter's an asshole. But I think he's being kept out for that reason, which isn't right.

According to Schefter, Stanford Routt has signed with the Chiefs. Does this mean Brandon Carr is on the market?

I'm going to say that it doesn't do much for Carr's status except give the Chiefs a tiny bit of leverage. $6.5 mil/year for a nickle back (which is what Routt will get) is not unreasonable, especially when you have as much cap room as the Chiefs.

that's a good signing for them

This. It also gives the Chiefs negotiating room with Carr, because they don't look so desperate now that they have a plan B if Carr leaves. I'm all for Carr leaving because I wouldn't mind us signing him, but signing Routt is a good thing for the Chiefs.

Yeah, I don't see them using the tag on Carr.

With Rout signing with KC, this is great for us getting Brandon Carr, my question is are we interested in him?

Smootsmack do you know?

Heard last week that if he didn't get tagged, yes we would be interested. Looking to add a starting caliber DB this offseason from what I've heard

QB
WR
CB
Interior OL

Not necessarily in that order
