Former NFL star Emmitt Smith is pushing back against a lawsuit filed over a failed solar energy deal valued at $2.5 million, according to a report from Front Office Sports published Tuesday.
The legal action centers on a solar investment that did not materialize as planned. Details of the specific allegations and Smith's defense were not immediately disclosed in the initial report.
Smith, the NFL's all-time leading rusher and three-time Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys, has been involved in various business ventures since retiring from football in 2004.
