Now that Richard Seymour is gone, wouldn't it make sense for the Patriots to reactivate discussions with Kevin Carter's agent? Apparently Kevin was ready to join the Pats if he decided not to retire (a la Junior Seau), and he would be a great stopgap player for a year or two. This would give the young DLs a chance to develop, while still having a great talent in Seymour's place.

Not sure what he has left.. but that makes sense. ala ted washington..
