What happened: The agreement ends a number negotiation that began after Miller joined Dallas in August. Lifetime chicken and tattoo work were discussed before the players settled on equity.

Why it matters: NFL teammates cannot share a number during the regular season, forcing the Cowboys to resolve their preseason overlap. Miller previously wore No. 40 in high school, college and at two NFL stops.

By the numbers: Luepke initially sought 2% equity, which Miller valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

What to watch: Dallas' regular-season opener will mark Miller's first official Cowboys game in No. 40.
