ESPN Mosley: Could Dallas be in Austin's rearview mirror?
Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley
In case you missed it, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald had a blog item on Cowboys restricted free agent Miles Austin earlier in the week. He thinks there's a chance the Miami Dolphins might make a play for Austin.

As Salguero points out, there are some poison pills the Dolphins could put in the contract to make it difficult for the Cowboys to match the offer. I know that Bill Parcells and general manager Jeff Ireland love Austin's potential, but I'd be surprised if they did something to put the Cowboys in a bad situation. Because of their familiarity, the Dolphins and Cowboys have tried to work together.
The Cowboys think too highly of Austin not to protect him. But the fact that he wasn't drafted actually makes it more difficult to make that happen. We'll keep you posted.
Austin is a high character player with immense physical tools. He's ready to be a No. 3 receiver for the Cowboys and he could easily become a No. 2 receiver for the Dolphins. Cowboys receivers Sam Hurd and Patrick Crayton hang on Terrell Owens' every word. To his credit, Austin didn't pick sides in the T.O.-Jason Witten dispute. He keeps his mouth shut and constantly works to get better.
The Cowboys can't afford to lose players like him.
