The Cowboys get fleeced.
From:
10-pack: The worst moves (and non-moves) of the NFL offseasonhttp://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=packtheworstmovesandnonm&prov=tsn&type=lgns
"Because news of the trade between the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins came on the eve of the draft, it made the deal a bit less noticeable—but no less remarkable.
The Cowboys sent linebacker Akin Ayodele and tight end Anthony Fasano to the Dolphins for a fourth-round draft pick. Total. Seriously.
Ayodele signed with the Cowboys as a free agent in 2006, and Fasano was a second-round pick that same year. Although Ayodele would have been bumped to the bench by free-agent pickup Zach Thomas, it’s highly risky, at best, for Dallas to count on the veteran linebacker with the history of head trauma to stay on the field. Meanwhile, after dealing away Fasano, the Cowboys had to burn a second-round pick on a new tight end (Texas A&M’s Martellus Bennett) to work behind Jason Witten."
Sure is nice to hear the Dolphins being talked about as the "fleece-or" rather than the "fleece-ee". I can still hear the echoes of the Rick "I've never won a game of chicken" Spielman, Vernon Carey draft day move, from time to time. ;)

A warm fuzzy for us all.
Though it does remind me of some of the news prior to the 2006 Super Bowl run.
