Stop me if you've heard this before... a former Dallas Cowboys player has been arrested on a drug charge.

This time it's Leonardo Carson, a defensive tackle from 2003-2004 who was cut in 2005.

FBI agents arrested Carson, 32, Thursday at his Irving home on drug-related charges.

The charges come from the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of Alabama. The charges allege he conspired to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana.

Carson played his college ball at Auburn and was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in 2000.

At least Carson isn't alone. See Nate Newton, Quincy Carter and Terry Glenn (this one is worth it just to see the mug shot).

And while we're talking troubled NFL players, the Cowboys SHOULD STAY AWAY from Michael Vick.

The AP helped with info.
