Blogging The Boys Chris Henry meeting with an unknown team

Former Bengals receiver Chris Henry is drawing the interest of a yet-unnamed NFL team.

Henry’s lawyer made that claim on Tuesday in order to obtain for Henry permission to travel out of the area for the purposes of visiting with said team.  Henry is on house arrest in the wake of a recent assault charge, and the judge assigned to the case previously had denied a request that Henry be allowed to leave the area in the hopes of landing a new football gig.

Blogging The Boys Mickey on Ayodele & Fasano trade

Some questioned trading Ayodele and Fasano. Mickey sums it up well in a Q & A.

Q:  So, was Anthony Fasano not to anybody's liking in Dallas? Reason why I'm asking, is, I thought he was a good player at that position. I would have liked to see maybe an offensive line player picked up at that spot or another need player like a safety. And why give away Akin Ayodele with the trade too? But especially trading away a good tight end to get a tight end just logically doesn't make sense.

Mickey: First of all, look at it this way: The Cowboys traded Fasano and Ayodele for Pacman Jones. Right? Got their fourth-rounder back they sent to Tennessee and ended up moving up 26 spots in the fourth round to the top spot, which they traded down again twice to get Tashard Choice and a fifth-rounder for next year, which will make up for the possibility of having to give up a 2009 sixth-rounder to Tennessee as part of the Pacman trade if he is reinstated. Now then, I'm told Fasano didn't fit Jason Garrett's offense and that he busted too many assignments. The Cowboys thought Tony Curtis was going to beat him out for the second spot. The trade was about Fasano, and at the last minute the Cowboys included Ayodele, who in the end they felt didn't make enough plays last year. And with the acquisition of Zach Thomas and possibly wanting to give Bobby Carpenter a chance to play, they traded Akin instead of possibly cutting him. It really wasn't too much about salary cap, since keeping Ayodele was going to cost $3.5 million against the cap this year and his escalated signing bonus now costs $3 million, but again, for nothing in return.
