Brandon Carr said he never seriously considered retirement.
The former Cowboys cornerback met with the Baltimore media for the first time Monday after signing a four-year, $24 million contract with the Ravens.
“Well, that is the media for you out there. They take something and run with it,” Carr said in quotes released by the Ravens. “I just basically said, ‘[It has been] nine years.’ I probed the question to them [the media]: ‘How long is a career?’ They run with it whichever way they want to run with it. It probably lasted about 17 seconds, and you get it out of your system.
