That seems like a lot of trouble for a huge uncertainty.

Is it possible that Haslett just likes him a lot and thinks he will help the team?

BTW we are sniffing anything near a #2 for Carter. Maybe a 4th if we are lucky.

I like Carter...but we've quietly put him on the market, just to see really what value he has and it wasn't more than a 5th

That seems low for someone who had like..11 sacks. I guess AH gets a lot of credit for that.

Damn, too bad is not a 4th rounder.

That's about what I expected and i would be happy to get a 5th. Teams generally don't trade high draft picks for older players.

I'll take 3 years of production over a guy that might never crack the starting roster

The Goat · 03-12-2010, 12:57 AM

Is it a foregone conclusion Carter doesn't fit in a 3-4, or Hybrid or whatever the hell Haslett has in mind?

I ask because Carter has seemed to improve his run stopping over the last couple seasons. He weighs in about 253 which is obviously small for a 4-3 RDE but the dude is ridiculous strong and last season seemed to get lots of push even coming inside the LT.

MTK · 03-12-2010, 08:11 AM

You have to look at the big picture with Carters' value. He's a 30 year old undersized DE, mostly a one trick pony who gets after the QB. He's had 3 double digit sack seasons in his career, but many more 4-6 sack type of seasons. And if teams see that he's not a good fit here and may end up being released anyway, why would teams want to give up very much for him?

Good point.

skins89moss · 03-12-2010, 08:30 AM

I do not see us doing a stright up trade with Carter for Carriker. Carter is a proving veteran player who has been productive most of his career. Carter is 30 but he takes care of his body and he does not miss games. Carriker is young and has potential but he has been injury prone thus far in his brief career. We better not give in draft picks, I could see us getting a 3rd or 4th rd pick with Carriker. Plus we are getting rid of Carters salary. How many years does Carriker have left on his rookie contract , will be a issue for us as well.

Mechanix544 · 03-12-2010, 10:11 AM

I dont know about that. He could be a situational pass rusher, and contribute more to this team than most 5th rounders. Really, how many 5th rounders come to a team, and even over a few seasons, have near the impact of an Andre Carter. Very very few would be the answer to that question.

Mechanix544 · 03-12-2010, 10:16 AM

Actually, I wouldnt give him up for anything less than a 4th, all while trying to get a third. Tis unfortunate this draft is deep along the DL, and skimpy at QB. Doesnt it seem like lady luck is always smiling on us? hehehe

MTK · 03-12-2010, 10:46 AM

Carriker is an interesting idea to me. He's only 25 and still has a lot of potential. Haslett knows him well too.
