Cowboys news: Jerry Jones decides to go the “second-chance” route with Aldon Smith

Jerry Jones is trying to resurrect a career again. Aldon Smith has had plenty of run-ins with the law, he’s battled alcohol and drug issues, and has been indefinitely banned from the NFL. He’s sober now and applying to be reinstated, and will sign with Dallas.

Aldon Smith hasn’t played since 2015, but the Cowboys are rolling the dice the pass rusher still can play.

Smith has reached agreement with the Cowboys, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports. It’s a one-year, $4 million deal [$2 million base, $2 million incentives], according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.
