Steve Walsh, who refuted reports that the Dallas Cowboys want to trade him, signed a four-year $4.1-million contract and joined another millionaire, Troy Aikman, in a battle for the starting quarterback job.

“I believe now the Cowboys really want me to compete for the job,” said Walsh, who lost only once in two years as the starter for the University of Miami.

Walsh could be traded to any NFL team this year but can refuse a trade to four teams he selects next season.

Walsh, who received a $900,000 bonus to sign, was passed over by Atlanta in the National Football League supplemental draft. The Cowboys took him, although they had signed UCLA’s Aikman to a six-year, $11.037-million contract.
