Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Austin, coming off his first Pro Bowl season, is a restricted free agent and the Cowboys have the option of using the franchise designation on him, placing a tender or working out a long-term deal. The Cowboys could place a first- and third-round tender on Austin, which could cost the team $3.168 million. If another team wants to match the offer, it would have to surrender a first- and third-round pick to the Cowboys. But the ultimate deal would be a long-term contract. Austin could command about $6 million on average if he gets a long-term deal. Owner/general manager Jerry Jones said he would like to lock Austin up.
