A more detailed version of the trade F4e suggested goes like this:
Dallas: gets Dampier (from GS)
GS gets: a first rounder from Dallas and a TE from Charlotte
Charlotte gets: Henderson, and probably some cash, both from Dallas. The second rounder might or might not be necessary to secure their cooperation.

If nobody stepped up to the plate with anything better for Dampier and the alternative was to lose him outright to Atlanta, you have to figure GS would have no problem accepting a future first and a sizeable (roughly 8 million dollar) TE; the TE is the reason why you include Charlotte, btw. Henderson will probably spend all next year on the IL, so insurance will pick up 80% of his salary. All Mark would have to do would be to throw in enough cash (and maybe the second rounder) to make it worth their while. If Dallas is interested in Damp and he's willing to sign a reasonable contract, it would be a win, win, win for all teams involved.

EDIT: forgot Charlotte has a reduced cap.
