Earlier this offseason, the Cowboys elected to let Byron Jones walk in free agency. Following his departure, Dallas was left with an unproven group of cornerbacks on the roster.
Back in April, the Cowboys added Trevon Diggs and Reggie Robinson in the 2020 NFL Draft. Despite the team's confidence in their young cornerbacks, Dallas could use some experience in their secondary.

Just a season ago, Carr produced 49 tackles, two sacks, and six pass breakups in 16 starts with the Ravens. That sort of versatility is something that the Cowboys could use this season.
On Thursday, Dallas surprisingly released Ha Ha Clinton-Dix less than six months after inking him to a one-year deal. By releasing him, they created an extra $1.5 million in cap space. And with a possible need in the secondary, the Cowboys could use that newfound money on a defensive back.
There's no doubt that Cowboys fans would prefer to see the franchise add Earl Thomas soon. While they could still pursue Thomas, Carr would be an intriguing addition to a secondary that presents a few questions marks.
