RB George signs in Big D

It didn't take Eddie George long to find a new home.

After being released by the Titans on Wednesday, the Oilers/Titans career leading rusher and his agent began talking with the Dallas Cowboys. By Friday, George was shaking hands with owner Jerry Jones in front of the five Super Bowl trophies en route to signing a contract.

The deal is what George wanted - a one-year contract that immediately paid him $1.5 million, which was what Tennessee offered him for this season. He will make a base salary of $660,000, but with incentives, he could make more than the $4.25 million - the amount he would have made under his previous contract with Tennessee.

George now gives the Cowboys the power runner that head coach Bill Parcells has always enjoyed. It instantly improves their rushing game and should give them a more balanced attack this year, given the acquisition of WR Keyshawn Johnson.
