Free Agent Carr to Tennessee
Free agent cornerback Chris Carr will not be signing with the Bills. The restricted free agent signed an offer sheet with the Titans. The Raiders have seven days to match the offer, which they're not expected to do.
In Buffalo, Carr would have competed for the nickel cornerback spot left open with the release of Kiwaukee Thomas. Now, its looks like the loser of the Jabari Greer/William James right cornerback battle. Also, Ashton Youboty would be in the mix.
Losing Carr is no big deal, although another veteran corner would be good to have. It may force the Bills into the best decision they could make: Draft a corner with their first round pick.
Here's why: there may not be a receiver worthy of the #11 selection. So instead of reaching, take a value pick. Because they're pretty set on the lines, that should be corner. A player like Domonique Rogers-Cromartie or Leodis McKelvin could develop into a #1 corner, something the team does not have right now. They can always get the receiver (one of the draft's deepest positions) in the second round.
