All Greg Ellis has ever wanted from Jerry Jones is peace of mind. Two days ago, the owner finally gave it to him by reworking his contract. Ellis and Jones agree that's the only reason Ellis was on the field Sunday, contributing 1 1/2 sacks to the Cowboys' 35-7 blowout win over hapless St. Louis. Ellis has an insurance policy that allowed him to play four games before deciding whether to retire and collect insurance money for a career-ending injury or continue playing, forfeiting any future claims.
