According to $2,717,000, releasing Carr would free up $2,717,000 in available cap space while creating no dead money.
In 2016, Carr appeared in all 16 games for the Cowboys and recorded 61 tackles, one interception and nine pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 52 cornerback out of 114 qualifying players.
