Smith and Cowboys
finally come to terms

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Emmitt
Smith and Jerry Jones ended their con-
tract feud Thursday. The cost: millions
of dollars out of Jones' pocket and two
lost football games.
Smith, who had watched on televi-
sion while the defendi , Super Bowl
champion Dallas Cowboys lost both
games they played withouthim, reached
an agreement with Jones that could
make him the highest paid running back
in the game.
Smith's agent, Richard Howell,
scooped Jones on releasing the news.
While Howell's office in Atlanta was
confirming to The Associated Press an
agreement had been reached, Jones'
office in Dallas withheld confirmation
for another 90 minutes.
Cowboys public relations director
Rich Dalrymple finally confirmed
"there has been an agreement in prin-
ciple but the contract has not been
signed."
Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson re-
sponded: "I'll believe it when I see it."
Dalrymple said the contract was
expected to be signed before an 9 p.m.
EDT press conference in the Texas Sta-
dium club. Jones and Smith both will
attend. Jones flew from New York to
Atlanta to pick up Smith after the tenta-
tive agreement had been reached over
the telephone.
No contract terms were immedi-
ately divulged, but Smith had said he
wouldn't sign unless Jones paid him
'Hopefully we can get this
thing turned around and
get back on a winning
track.'

'Thurman Thomas money."
'Hopefully we can get this thing
turned around and get back on a win-
ning track," Smith said.
"It's definitely going to be differ-
ent, he said. "I think I am in pretty
good shape. How much in shape is yet
to be seen. If I go out and carry the ball
... if I even play this Sunday, I could be
dead tired Sunday night."
The Cowboys owner and-Smith
signed a contract during a news confer-
ence Thursday night. Jones called it a
"win-win" solution.
The contract was expected to be a
four-year deal for approximately $13.6
million, which would be more than
Buffalo pays'Thomas.
He admitted that "if the team had
been 2-0, it's possible that I wouldn't be
here.
Smith said he hoped to be ready to
play on Sunday against Phoenix but
added, "DerrickLassic deserves to start.
I'm not sure how far I can go. It's
possible I could hurt the team more than
help it."
