Somebody threw that up there as a CYA move. Little do they know their *** is grass.

You Think Parcells Drafted Carp Knowing He Would Trade 4 Him Some Yaers Down The Rode?

Keep that french stuff off this site.:)

Regardless of what happens with Akin, Bobby, and Zach, that's a b.s. move by the pro shop.

It's creating ill will and negative vibes, and the guy hasn't even been to Valley Ranch.

:hammer:

I agree, that's not cool

I think that's funny in the story when they said that Akin has done a good job here... I guess???:confused: He's usually invisible out on the field IMO. I don't remember much.

I think Zach will end up with 53. Akin will go in a deal. Carpenter will keep 54.

I'm guessing Carp won't keep 54 since the cowboys are already selling #54 Thomas Jerseys.

Why is that funny? I'm sure Carp got a pretty penny from Thomas for selling him the number.

The article/blurb reported this:
Carpenter confirmed in a text message Tuesday night that he has not given his number away.

Exactly what I just said, he SOLD it. He didn't "Give" it away.

What do you think we get for Akin? I don't think he's worth more than a 5th right now. The Saints might be interested.

Or the Broncos. They love second-rate defensive players from Dallas.

Carpenter is "Just a number" who is subject to change.

He's shaming the Dallas' historic #54.

Thomas is worthy of it. He has skins on the wall.

Thomas isn't worthy of anything. What exactly has he done as a Cowboy other than cash a check?

Carp isn't shaming anything, Parcells shamed us by drafting a player we can't use with a 1st round pick.

Sorry Akin, you would not be on the chopping block if you had performed better.

I think they mean Randy Whites number. Carpenter may be wearing it but in my eyes that is still Randy White jersey until someone can come along and do justice to the number. The same way Irvin did with Drew Pearson 88

Chuck Howley was the first great #54.

Boy, you guys don’t miss a trick. A bunch of folks spotted the new Zach Thomas jersey for sale on the Pro Shop’s website with No. 54 on the back, his number for 12 years in Miami, but also Bobby Carpenter’s current Cowboys number. That immediately fueled speculation Carpenter was gone, but remember, that would be a $4.5 million cap hit. Well Wednesday, I see the number has changed to 55, and there is a qualifier there, reading, “Thomas jersey will be produced and ship within four days after number is determined. * #55 subject to change.” Thomas has stated he’s not hung up on the number anyway. Didn’t realize folks still want to be the first one on the block to have the newest toy.
