As a Cowboys veteran and NFL Players Association representative, cornerback Brandon Carr says he often counsels young teammates about accountability.
Show up on time, he tells them. Know the playbook. And make it a priority to learn the NFL's substance abuse policies, especially in regard to marijuana use.
"We have honest discussions," Carr says. "And you caution. I just kind of give guys the deadline dates of when they're supposed to get clean, things like that."
This is not, Carr stresses, an admission that the Cowboys have a drug-dirty locker room.
