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.
No, she decided to retire.
Simply because most of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders aren't as fit once they enter a fifth year and they retire. While Trisha Trevino was an exception and successfully completed the tryouts and the training camp process, most of our cheerleaders do not make the requirements to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. - Kelli
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.
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 last player to wear No. 8 for the Dallas Cowboys was quarterback Troy Aikman, who wore that number from 1989 to 2000. Although the Cowboys do not retire uniform numbers, it is unlikely that anyone else will wear the number anytime soon.
He was fired by new owner Jerry Jones in February 1989.
Emmitt smith played for the Dallas Cowboys, and Arizona Cardinals.
No one. It belonged to retired Hall of Famer Roger Staubach. While not technically retired, (the cowboys do not retire #'s), no one would probably wear it out of respect.
The last team Drew Bledsoe played for was the Dallas Cowboys. He retired after the 2006 NFL season.Bledsoe's Career: Team/years/(record)New England Patriots: 1993-2001 (63-60)Bullaflo Bills: 2002-2004 (23-25)Dallas Cowboys: 2005-2006 (12-10)
Though he played his first 13 seasons with the Cowboys, Emmitt's final two years were actually spent with the Arizona Cardinals, with whom he almost totaled 1,200 rushing yards.

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.
