Empty Nest
Has there been any personnel move in the NFL this decade worse than the Eagles' decision to waive Cris Carter six days before the start of the 1990 season? Since leaving Philadelphia, Carter has 578 receptions, second most in the '90s behind Jerry Rice's 704. The Eagles' leading receiver since Carter left was Fred Barnett (308 catches), who left for the Dolphins as a free agent after the '95 season.
