Schefter saying it's just about a "formality".
Do you have a link? This is from 10 minutes ago via CBS Rapid-Reports:

The Cowboys have three players who have agreed to terms, including QB Kyle Orton (Chiefs). Fullback Lawrence Vickers (Texans) and guard Mackenzy Bernadeau (Panthers) will also sign with the club. CB Brandon Carr (Chiefs) is reportedly close to a deal.

Routt was better value.
Well, if ESPN is reporting it now, it's probably accurate. http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story/...on-sources-say
I agree. That's a lot of money. Carr is worth it, but With Routt on our roster now, It would be hard for the Chiefs to justify matching it. I was hearing the Cowboys were offering $7 million per year and hoping the Chiefs would match it, but this is too high.
Why would they bait us? We're not division rivals and it's not like he was a restricted free agent where we had the option to match. If that's what they were doing, Jerry Jones is an even bigger idiot than I thought.
I might get in trouble for this but here goes....

In this movie(in real life too, I believe) Kurt Russell is a Chiefs fan. Classic movie.
All I keep thinking is cool, we'll get a higher compensatory pick. No one really knows the formula for how they're given out. But last year if you were at 6.5 mil or higher you got a 3rd rounder. Carr (10 million a year) + Orton (not really sure, we'll say 3) - Routt (6.3) = 6.7 million or a 3rd rounder.
I'm sure we'll see some other signings and loses but at least we'll get something out of it.
Sorry to see Carr go, but 5 years/$50 mill but with Routt on the roster paying that kind of money would have been crazy. Important thing now is what are they going to do with all that cash they just saved?
