From what I've been reading, it would seem that the money is exactly it.
I honestly don't care if we don't get carter back. He was good but he wasn't peppers good etc. He got like 4.5 sacks in one game against the jets. I enjoyed it while it was happening but it felt kind of like when leigh bodden kept picking sanchez and that just raised their asking price.
I like the youth movement on the New England Patriots defense. In addition, there is no guarantee that Andre Carter will be 100% for the entire season.

Given the alternatives like Ninkovich (11.5 career sacks) and Cunningham (1 career sack), I'm not sure that being picky about Carter (10 sacks last season) getting 4 sacks in one game is really where it's at here. To me, if he's healthy and looks like he's still got his step, he's still likely to be a better bookend for Jones on passing downs than anyone else on the roster.
Just my $.02
Feel bad for him to have to go that graveyard called Oakland if rumours are true. But I do understand if no talks are going on from the Patriots side. This is a scenario where he shouldn't be blasted if he feels like feeding his kids if both sides aren't talking.
