IIRC, Rick Smith said "we're trying to find a new place for David." I'm not sure that the word "trade" was even used.

They showed their cards too early. Of course they had to release him, if a team knows the Texans are going to release Carr and not keep him, no way they would make an offer for him with draft picks and other compensation I'm telling you, the Texans just don't know how to play poker.
It was a good run, no matter what anyone else (read: Carr Haters) have to say. I'm happy to be moving in a new direction, but said to see our first leader leave.
Good luck, and I, for one, hope to see him find success somewhere else. I will always remember 19-10. And no one can deny that Carr was full of class, and always did everything in his power for this city and this team.
But isn't Erin....a woman's name?
LOL, shut up..
I am still trying to get over the shock of these two releases. That being said WTF WTF WTF, I mean honestly now is there no way we couldn't get some draft picks even if its in next years draft. This sickens me, we let go of a pretty decent QB and a RB that .... ummm welll hmmm ok freeloaded off the TEXANS all year long. Still we could of did a package deal w/ a team.
Everyone thought I was an ***** when I throught the deal Casserly gave Davis/Williams was stupid. Why wasnt I hired over Casserly???
The dead money keeps building.

If by package deal you mean another beer vendor then yes probably.. But both are broken beyond repair..
So long DC you will always be known as the 1 QB for the Houston Texans. Wish you and your family all the best. Good Luck with your future team.
For one, Romo played half a season, (his first TD pass was against the TEXANS!) and still had better stats than David Carr. Everyone said it was all the O-Lines fault that Bledsoe sucked but it was just that he was the freaking Statue of Liberty and wouldn't get out of the way (like David Carr). But when Romo came in all criticism of the line stopped. It will be the same way with the Texans.
Just to be fair, it's not Carr's fault. He never had anyone to guide him, he had unrealistic expectations put on him, and being sacked 249 times doesn't help anything (not counting knockdowns). He might have been a crappy QB for the Texans but I expect him to do good for another NFL team. He is a class act and is not done.
If your reason had been that he would have a career ending knee injury, then you could rightfully pat yourself on the back.
Agree with this and Drob running his mouth off on cold pizza did not help us either.
I just remembered that I will be drawn to sports talk radio like a moth to a flame today and can't wait to hear "Hey guys, first time long time..is there anyway we can now resign Dave as the backup for a cheaper price..thanks I'll hang up and listen."
I'm sure his agent can work out a deal with TGFHaircutters for spokesmodel work. They can give a 2nd rounder to Super Cuts...sorry had to one last time.
Damn, Marcus... you seem pretty upset that Rick mislead you...
as glad as i am to see carr leave out of this organization...another dumb*** move by the FO. someone mentioned earlier that even detroit got a 6th for harrington. the texans could at least have gotten a 3rd or a 4th. well...what do you expect

I don't think this was Smith's call. Smith would have held on to Carr until the draft in the remote chance that a team that came up empty on a QB would give up a pick.
This had to be McNair's decision. I wouldn't be surprised if Carr had talked directly to McNair and asked for a release. This was David's best chance to get another gig.
How can this be a June cut in March?Since this is a June 1st cut I do not think it is really that much dead money and DW loses his roster bonus he would have gotten other wise.
Hey, buddy. I was just saying I don't really think much of Romo. On a Houston football site, it seemed safe to bash another teams quarterback. What I didn't expect was bashing another teams quarterback, and getting attacked as a Carr-basher.
If you read any of my posts in the last hour, they all say about the same thing - it was time for everyone to move on, let's get excited, and everyone will be happy when we start winning.
Except for this post. So, let me stress that one more time - ROMO IS OVERRATED!

The majority of our fanbase totally overvalued the guy. If it was anyone else, Houston would have run him out of town on a rail years ago. But, the Golden Boy has an aura of invicibility about him, and somehow has managed to cast a spell over a bunch of people who don't know good QB play because they have never seen it. Folks, you are about to see it in 2007. Strap up, cause this ship is blasting off in 2007!

This move makes no sense to me. I would have cost nothing more to wait to cut Carr until after the draft (unless there is some sort of roster bonus due before then?). You never know what could happen at the draft- maybe a team that was really hoping for a QB couldn't get one like Cleveland really wants Quinn but he goes #2 to Detriot or Miami really wants Stanton but he goes before their second pick. Then we could have traded for a late 2008 draft pick even if we had to pay some of David's salary. As long as we pay equal or less than the amount of the cap hit for releasing him we would have come out ahead.
I can believe this.
Even though Carr wasn't successfull here it appears McNair still respects the guy. I know I do.
It was McNairs money that funded Carrs contract.
Unlike the Carr haters around here that continue to take cheap shots at a guy who has too much class to get involved in a spitting match.
Some I expected, some posters have suprised me with their comments.
The Texan organization has decided to move on, why can't the haters.

The Texans were spinning Carr's game for years. That's why I called it the Emperor's New Clothing regime for a while....its like nobody would tell Bob McNair and the fans anything except what he/they wanted to hear, and let's face it, many fans backed Carr solely because of the fact that McNair supported him. Marketing was more important than what happened on the field. It's time to turn the corner and stop being an expansion team.The majority of our fanbase totally overvalued the guy.

I am just stunned.
My head hurts.
Did David need to go? Yes.
Is this good for the team to move forward? Yes.
Its just how it was handled.
What was RS doing? Trying to sign and trade at the same time? Trade first then sign. Once we signed Schaub it was over.
IMO Robinson opening his mouth on national TV submarined any chance of getting anything for Carr.
Every team in the NFL believed RS when he said that Carr really was coming back and was the starting QB. He still had value. Then dumb dumb goes on national TV and talks about how Carr should go and everything went right out the window.
Could've had Peppers, Could've had Leinart or Young. Instead of having any of that we lose two picks and two spots in the draft and got nothing for a #1 over all pick. Plus the Texans spent over $40million.
Sorry to sound so negative.
Could a, would a, should a, right?
