Best Answer

Many people have played their entire careers with the Cowboys, among them Bob Lilly, Roger Staubach, Don Meredith, Troy Aikman, Drew Pearson and Michael Irvin. But Emmitt Smith, who played his last two NFL seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, signed a one-day contract with Dallas in 1995, so that he could officially retire as a Cowboy.

Why do Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders retire after 5 years?

Simply because most of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders aren't as fit once they enter a fifth year and they retire.

Who is number 31 on the Dallas Cowboys?

Currently, no Dallas Cowboys player wears the #33. I think it unlikely that any one would try to wear 33, as it belonged to Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett. While the Cowboys do not retire numbers, I don't think you will see a 12,8,33, or 74. 88 lingers on, however.


What NFL team did Emmitt Scott played for?

Emmitt Smith was drafted 17th overall by the Dallas Cowboys in 1990. He played with the Cowboys until the end of the 2002, when he was released. He was signed by the Arizona Cardinals, where he played for 2 seasons. Following the 2004 season Smith announced his intention to retire from NFL Football. The Cardinals released him from his contract, three days before Super Bowl XXXIX, in February 2005, where he was picked up by the Dallas Cowboys, on a one day, zero dollar contract. This allowed Smith to retire as a Cowboy, which he immediately did.

The Cowboys do not officially retire numbers, choosing to pay tribute to great players through induction in the Ring of Honor. But it is safe to say that no one will wear Smith's No. 22 for Dallas anytime soon.
