Bye Bye Carpenter

Looks like a trade will occur this Monday and the Cowboys will finally depart ways with LB Bobby Carpenter, who did show improvement last year but overall has been a bust since Bill Parcells drafted him.

St. Louis and Dallas are all set to trade Carpenter for The Ram's tackle Alex Barron, who is flexible to play both right and left tackle, giving The Cowboys some much needed insurance at the position. With Flozell Adams gone, the offensive line will only benefit from Barron being a backup.

Things are shaping up for The 'Boys, positions are aligning nicely and the next big question will be, 'what's going on at wideout?' The wide receiver position is currently flooded with the likes of Roy Williams, Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, Patrick Crayton, Sam Hurd, Kevin Ogletree & Jesse Holley, not to mention Manuel Johnson and Titus Ryan, who will also be competing for spots this summer.

Patrick Crayton is currently having a bit of a hold-out due to the drafting of Dez Bryant, and Sam Hurd also had similar feelings but has seemed to calm down a bit. Miles Austin and Dez Bryant are definite to stay around, Roy Williams too (although, I'm not sure why and I'm still hoping for a trade,) and Sam Hurd will probably be kept on as well. Ogletree was impressive with the limited time he played last year and I can see him doing well in mini-camps. It will be interesting to see how this position plays out.

That's pretty much all the news I have for now. Will keep you updated if anything exciting happens.
