Looks the the Dolphins wanted Fasano and Carpenter, but the Cowboys refused, and opted to trade Akin Ayodele instead. This was the right move in my opinion. Ayodele was “just there” occupying space and not making much impact on defense.
From Star-Telegram:
According to an NFL source, the Dolphins wanted Bobby Carpenter, but the Cowboys weren’t willing to part with the 2006 first-round draft pick. So Dallas included Ayodele in the deal.
Carpenter is glad to stay in Dallas, and sees more opportunity to play this year. I don’t blame him, I’m sure Carpenter will see significant playing time either way. Parcells stunted his growth, and he’s getting a fresh start this year.
“This is still a great opportunity for me, and [inside linebacker] is a place where I think I can use my athletic ability to make plays,” Carpenter said. “If I’m going to have a shot to play, I want it to be here.” (Star-Telegram)
