BRANDON CARR RUMORS & GOSSIP

Dallas Cowboys’ Brandon Carr Ready to “Take it to the Next Level” on Right Side

Once the 2012 NFL off-season began, the Dallas Cowboys wasted no time in signing prize free agent cornerback Brandon Carr to a five-year, $50.1 million contract. The Cowboys’ secondary has been horrendous in recent years and cornerback was one of the team’s weakest positions. Carr is definitely an upgrade there, but expectations for the Cowboys’ newest star are higher than...

Mike Jenkins needs to be a big part of the Cowboys secondary in 2012

When the Cowboys signed free agent cornerback Brandon Carr, many spoke about how improved the secondary would be as long as Mike Jenkins came back healthy in 2012. Now with the Cowboys trading up eight spots in the first round of the draft to select Morris Claiborne, some believe that Jenkins is the odd man out. There are even reports that the Cowboys have been looking to trade Jenkins...

Cowboys seeking to put the ‘D’ back in Dallas

Dallas’s defense allowed 30 or more points in four games and three of those came against...

Dallas Cowboys select Morris Claiborne, Grade A

I absolutely love this trade for both teams. The Dallas Cowboys now have one the game’s best duos at cornerback in Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr. Claiborne is arguably more NFL-ready than Patrick Peterson was a year ago (at least in terms of coverage) and will make an immediate impact in Dallas. As for the trade, I’m ok with teams trading up for players when they...

Jerry Jones Admits Cowboys Overpaid For CB Brandon Carr

The Cowboys needed secondary help, so they went out and signed Chiefs cornerback Brandon Carr to a lucrative $50.1 million deal, with roughly half that money guaranteed. Locking that much money up with one player will almost always lead to questions from Cowboys fans about whether the team overpaid. But according to DallasCowboys.com writer Rob Phillips , Jerry Jones has already...

Minnesota Vikings Free Agent Target: Cornerback Brandon Carr

The Minnesota Vikings finished 26th in the NFL against the pass in 2011 (251.2 yards per game), and they also intercepted a tied for league-low eight passes. The need for playmakers in the secondary should be one of the primary needs for the team as the pre-draft process and free agency gets going now. The Kansas City Chiefs signed cornerback Stanford Routt to a three-year, ...
