The Facts:
The Cowboys are counting on Austin being a major player in their offense in 2009, but the New York Jets might have something to say about that. According to sources, the Jets have scheduled to meet with Austin, a restricted free agent, Thursday and Friday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Cowboys gave Austin a $1.545 million tender offer that would require a team to give up a second-round pick as compensation if the Cowboys did not match. The restricted free-agent signing period ends on April 17. As Morning News staffer Todd Archer notes, if the Jets sign Austin, the Cowboys would have a week to match the offer. New York's second-round selection is No. 52, one spot behind the Cowboys' first pick of the draft.
