James Brooks took us to the Super Bowl. Traded Pete Johnson for him.
That was a Paul Brown move though not Mike and company.
Great trade though.

Fitzpatrick honestly deserves to be mentioned. He may not have been great but he helped a lot as a backup.
Brian Leonard too.

Carter is not competing with Sims, Williams, or Thompson. Or even Hunt. He is competing with Flowers and DiManche. He is a LB. He can rush the QB. Can he do the other stuff well enough that he is not a 1 trick pony.
They will NOT give Carter a single snap at LB. He is shitty as a LB. They would keep him as a rush end. They will count him as an extra LB/one of the DL and make a cut on the DL. Dimanche has no shot at this roster imo.

There's only so much roster space that can be dedicated to the "future". Every year you typically can mark down just about every team's picks 1-4 are making, it has to be high 90s percentage. You can't go to far in reserving spots for guys that aren't performing and getting out played. Sure you run the risk (as every team does) that the light comes on once you cut the individual.
Probably more guys never pay off vs. the ones that eventually do.
I agree as well, but I don't see any way that Carter isn't one of the inactives every week. Plus he is too small and only has one ability. I'd much rather have Pat Sims behind Brandon Thompson to help stop the run and Deshawn Williams sitting inactive each week for the future than having Chris Carter waste a 53 man spot and we lose Sims or Williams.

I just hope to God Carter does not make this team and steal a spot from a guy who actually has a future.
