Michael Irvin was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1988 and signed a 4-year $1.875 million contract with a $750,000 signing bonus. He re-signed in 1992 for a 3-year $3.75 million contract and later signed a 5-year $12.3 million contract in 1995, making him one of the highest-paid players in the NFL.

Irvin started strong but the Cowboys struggled as a team. He suffered injuries and almost got traded to the Raiders. However, the team’s performance improved in the 90s and Irvin set several franchise records in 1995. The Cowboys also won the Super Bowl in 1992 and 1993.

In the late 90s, Irvin suffered a serious collarbone injury and a cervical spinal cord injury that ended his football career.

After retiring from the NFL, Irvin was arrested for possession of cocaine and was later found with drug paraphernalia in his car. In 2007, he faced another sexual assault accusation, which was settled out of court in 2011.
