Though he has been a disappointment as a former first-round draft pick, Cowboys linebacker Bobby Carpenter probably will not be cut due to his play in nickel and dime packages, along with his special teams contributions, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Our View: Carpenter had just 18 tackles last season, and he has been described often as too soft to play the game, something that came to the forefront on the recent episode of HBO's Hard Knocks, as a teammate labeled him "Barbie" Carpenter.
