In need of help in the secondary, the Cowboys gave Brandon Carr a $50.1 million contract with roughly half of the value guaranteed.
"We know we overpaid to get Carr," Dallas owner Jerry Jones said at the NFL meetings. "Not overpay -- we paid retail."
In comparison, Cortland Finnegan signed a $50 million deal, with $27 million in guarantees, with the Rams.
