Akin Ayodele is listed as 240 lbs. on NFL.com and 250 lbs. on DallasCowboys.com. Burnett, meanwhile, is listed at 240 lbs. on DallasCowboys.com. Looks like NFL.com needs to get their numbers straight.

Burnett was 6'3'' 239 lbs coming out of college. He blew out a knee his junior year in college and blew another his first year in the NFL. His problem isn't straight line speed, but lateral quickness. I would prefer Akin Ayodele, personally, but any of the Cowboys young LBers is better than the backups on the Pats. The fact that they are all familiar with Parcells' 3-4 is a huge benefit.

the LB's weight isnt everything, look at Vilma, from everything Ive heard and read the patriots would of jumped all over the chance drafting him if he was available, hes not even that big...

theres a reason he might be available for trade and reason he sucked so much last year. he cant play in 3-4 yet. bradie james is not a very good player and they moved Ellis to OLB last year while Carpenter couldnt even compete against them.

Yeah. He might be more of a ball chaser style LB and suited more for the 4-3.

Carpenter player very well at OLB in the Seattle playoff game last year. But the Cowboys have D. Ware and just drafted Spencer. Under BB Carpenter will blossom. He's learned some humility from his Cowboy experience.

Last season he mentioned his lack of freedom in the 3-4. But, yes. I agree that BB will utilize his skills.

We know the Patriots can't, but can other teams sign Asante to a long term contract now that we are past the July 16th deadline?
