The Dallas Cowboys are coming closer to writing off Emmitt Smith for their season opener in Washington on Sept. 6.
“My instincts tell me Emmitt isn’t going to be here,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.
The Super Bowl winners and the two-time rushing champion are $1.6 million apart in a contract dispute. Smith is asking for $4 million, and the Cowboys are offering $2.4 million.
