Default Is this the part where we sign Kevin Carter?

Just wondering...

Any news on that front? (Or did that ship sail with him signing elsewhere and all of a sudden I look like a total idiot?)

I certainly hope so. At this point, he's better than what we're likely going to have to throw together at the position to replace Seymour. As I said in another thread, Belichick has a plan. I highly doubt he trades Seymour if he wasn't confident about at least patching the hole left behind by his trade. Whether he's confident in the committee we have to replace him currently on the roster or he's planning on signing Carter, I don't know. As of right now, I hope it's the latter. But I have been proven wrong by this team before so...

Negotiations are still happening. Hopefully, Seymour leaving might help the team to realize that Carter is more valuable than before. Hopefully, Seymour leaving will help Carter see that he will have a major role in the defense.

So I tried looking this guy up to see who he is why you guys seem ok with signing him when you usually don't like trash-heap guys and such.

Why is he still a free agent? By choice or something else? Is he a wash-up or just looking for $$$?

Hook a brotha up?

He's pretty long in the tooth. That would be my guess for why he's still a free agent. But I think he can still be productive. Will he be Seymour? Absolutely not. But he can somewhat fill the void.

Earlier in the offseason, many were interested in him as an insurance policy just in case Ty Warren's injury was worse than expected.

Last I read he was leaning towards retirement. Now, that may be an agent ploy to soak the Lions for dough....but I don't see the Pats getting into that game.

I don't want Kevin Carter to have a major role in this defense. Hell, I don't want him on this team. He'd be one of the oldest players in the league. And he isn't that good anymore.

Yah, but him and Galloway can take the guys out for dinner Thursday's using the senior's discount. Not ALL bad...

Golden Corral does have an excellent buffet.

"No problem, no problem, no problem, PROBLEM!". God I hate that commercial.
