Cowboys acquire QB Henson

By JEAN-JACQUES TAYLOR / The Dallas Morning News

The Cowboys have traded a third-round draft pick in 2005 to acquire former Michigan star quarterback Drew Henson, a source close to negotiations said.

The Cowboys have signed Henson to an eight-year contract which guarantees him at least $3.5 million. If he gets 15 percent of the snaps in 2004, he will receive $3.5 million immediately and will shorten the contract length to four years. If he plays 70 percent of the snaps in any of his first three seasons, his base salary will increase by $1 million.

Because of the complex nature of the contract, the deal still needs approval from the NFL's management council.

Henson will receive a base salary of $238,000 in 2004.
