Cowboys Extend MLB Bradie James

The Cowboys have signed Bradie James to a 5-year extension. James will lock up the MLB position. We have a solid LB corps, and now the next question may be, what's next for LB Bobby Carpenter?

Carpenter has practiced and played mainly at the MLB position this year, so I am wondering where his playing time will fall now and in the future. We just signed free agent LB Akin Ayodele to play next to James at MLB, so you would think our MLBs are locked up there, and OLB Demarcus Ware isn't going anywhere. So what about OLB Greg Ellis? Ellis is looking like a beast at his new position, I don't see a change there right now.

It's actually a good thing to have this dilemma, we'll continue to see how the season unfolds for Carpenter and the rest of the linebackers.
