Report: Dallas Cowboys had former cornerback Brandon Carr for a visit

When it comes to free agency, the Dallas Cowboys generally don’t spend much. Dallas has got a habit of being modest when it comes to acquiring talent through free agent contracts because, well, they don’t like big business. Often times things like this have arisen from experience, such as the case of the USA team unwilling to repeat the 2012 mistake when they handed Brandon Carr a five-year contract worth over $ 50 million. dollars (which was quite significant at the time).

Truth be told, Carr was a useful player for the Cowboys all five seasons. He never missed a game and although people tend to focus on interceptions when it comes to defensive backs, he was about as reliable as he gets.

Could a return to Dallas be on the horizon?

The Cowboys invited Brandon Carr for a visit

There’s been a lot of talk about what the Cowboys should be doing safe for a while now (try a decade). Recently, Stephen Jones noted that the team is monitoring the security market, which has led to names like Morgan Burnett and Damarious Randall (seen Randall was released by the Raiders on Friday).

Of course, many people expected, or at least wanted, to see Dallas bring veteran Earl Thomas to safety. There is no doubt that Thomas is a quality player and has been connected to the Cowboys several times before, but his concerns off the field seem to take the teams away. They were the ones who prompted the Ravens to free him in the first place.

What if the Cowboys signed a defensive back who has had dealings with the Cowboys in the past and who played for the Ravens last year? But what if it wasn’t Earl Thomas, but Brandon Carr instead? The former Cowboys cornerback is said to have visited the team.

Brandon Carr was an outstanding member of the Dallas Cowboys when it came to leadership during his five years on the team, and he was also an incredible member of the DFW community. We know the Cowboys value that kind of leadership here and now, in that particular sense that Brandon Carr would be about as averse to signing as Earl Thomas is perceived to be.

Carr is at the point in his career as a cornerback where he started the transition to safety (sort of). Maybe he could be the answer for this team in more ways than one.
