They can take his salary in 2013 and convert it to a signing bonus and prorate that over 3 years. Which means his total salary cap numbers will be over the next 4 years are 3.2 for 2012 and 4.2 mil over the next 3 years after that.
In fact, all 6 free agents the Cowboys have signed this year will only count 11 million against the cap this year.
I don't see where you come up with 10 mil/yr just for Carr though?

It's thirty three million in years 1-3, so it's really
$11 mil/year on Carr through the years where they can't move him b/c of the contract. After that point, it's two additional years at 8.5 mil, which is more reasonable.
Money is frontloaded because that's the only way he'd sign.
