Shockey is only significantly better in name recognition only. Fact is that Shockey had only five more catches and one more TD than Cooley last year while Cooley had 111 more yards. In my league there was only a five point difference. Don't get me wrong, if I had to choose one or the other I'd pick Shockey, but it's not that big of a difference.
While Barber had a good season last year, he's still going to split time with Julious Jones at best and will be hard pressed to match last year's TD total. Addai plays in the best offense in the league and will be the feature back, especially now that Rhodes is gone. Addai is a top ten fantasy player, none of the others should be drafted in the first three rounds at this point.
I think getting Addai and Cooley would be an advantage for you.
Yup - do it. Shockey is better than Cooley, but you'll get much more from Addai. Barber III does not put up yardage numbers, but does score touchdowns (Addai will get you both).

Barber will start in Dallas, and Shockey is better than Cooley.
Addai - could break out huge this year without Rhodes stealing downs from him. Cooley is the question mark.
If you think Addai is going to blow up ala - Edge - then it is a steal. Go for it.

HELL NO!! Shockey is always a threat to score and although Barber doesn't get alot of yards, he is the Cowboys go to guy in the red zone.
No, you can always trust in the shockey, and you never know what will come of Barber.
good trade because addai is going to be good this season and shockey is overrated so do it
I would have hung onto Shockey he's about the only TE that will bring in any big points
Addai will have a huge year! Do it!
