The sides reportedly were $150,000 apart at the time and Endicott said to a Dallas reporter: 'It's a blow to Michael and it blows my mind. That was in sharp contrast to the attitude Tuesday of Irvin's agent, Steve Endicott. Happy to contribute any such way Coach Johnson wants.' I'd give the negotiations an A-plus.'Īdded Irvin about his reaction to the bargaining: 'I think my smile says it all. Any time you get into something that sensitive and involves such an important thing, it takes some time.

Without being specific, owner Jerry Jones said during the news conference with Irvin: 'We do believe Michael is one of the top one or two receivers in the NFL. The Jets' Al Toon reportedly makes an average of $1.375 million. Rice's contract averages about $2.3 million. Irvin reportedly wanted an average of $1.4 million the Cowboys were said to remain rigid at $1.25 million.

The longer-than-expected negotiations came about because Irvin wanted to be the second-highest-paid receiver in the league, behind the 49ers' Jerry Rice. That is because Irvin burned Green for nine catches for 130 yards and a touchdown last season at RFK Stadium as the Cowboys stopped the Redskins' winning streak at 11. Irvin going against the Redskins' Darrell Green has been one of the most keenly anticipated matchups of the season opener for both teams. 'My job is to run and read defenses, so I need to see the speed of the game. I'll get pretty close to that in practice. 'The thing I need most of all is to see a game pace in front of me. 'My running is okay,' Irvin said during a news conference before the afternoon workout. It depends on how he feels, how comfortable he feels during the game and how the game goes.' Irvin missed all the serious preparation for the Redskins game, Johnson said. He added about Irvin: 'I can't honestly say what impact he will have. He'll be a bit rusty, but I think he'll be fine.' Aikman throughout camp had been sending new plays and other relevant information by fax to Irvin and tight end Jay Novacek, another holdout who recently signed. Quarterback Troy Aikman said of Irvin: 'Everybody expects a lot from him Monday. Are you crazy? Do you think I'd miss all that fun?' 'I'm sure the coaches will only put me in situations I'm ready to handle.'Ĭowboys Coach Jimmy Johnson said after a 90-minute closed practice that Irvin would not start but that room for him on the active roster already had been made.ĭid Irvin ever envision missing the Redskins game? 'I'm back, I'm slidin' in, I'm just trying to do whatever they tell me to,' said Irvin, who worked about 30 extra minutes in shoulder pads and shorts with backup quarterback Steve Beuerlein. 4 - Michael Irvin signed a three-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys early today, posing the question before Monday night's game here with the Washington Redskins: Can an all-pro wide receiver with less than one week of training camp elude an all-pro cornerback with less than two?
