Cowboys Strike $108M Contract Extension With QB Tony Romo

The Dallas Cowboys are taking care of quarterback Tony Romo.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Friday that the Cowboys and Romo have agreed to a six-year, $108 million contract extension with $55 million guaranteed in the contract, according to a source involved in the process.

The Cowboys have been talking with Romo's camp off and on after hoping to ink the 32-year-old passer to an extension last summer. As Rapoport reported Thursday, a clause in Romo's contract stipulated that Dallas could not franchise Romo if no deal was reached by the end of the 2013 league year, effectively making him a free agent. That handed significant leverage to Romo, but both sides obviously want to get a deal done.

The guaranteed money is crazy, but at least they kept him under 20 million a year

Mchater's tweet.. *thud*

 

With the Flacco and Romo deals, any team with a legitimately good QB is going to get absolutely hecked financially.

And LOL at Dallas.

 

I guess you're one of the lucky ones. :icon_cheesygrin:

 

Do they actually think that he is that good? $108mill, seriously?

 

Not sure about that. I know we overpaid for Romo, but we had to sign him.

 

classic :rofl:

you are correct. any legit starting nfl qb is going to get paid huge money and romo is a legit starting qb.

 

It's not really bad. Top 5 guys are getting 22 million a year. Romo isn't even getting 20 and prolly closer to 13 considering he isn't likley to see the end of the contract

yep, really we just need to look at the first 3 or 4 years of a contract because it usually gets restructured

 

as a redskins fan,m so thrilled over this,and i'm sure so are eagles and giants fans.
he is getting more guaranteed money than flacco who has been to the playoffs every year and won a super bowl and tom brady? that is just hecked up!

 

Jerry Jones is a bum- that's why

 

And yet that's what every logical football in the world was thinking.

 

That's because he's nowhere near Tom Brady.

 

Honestly, that's how I feel as well. He's a good QB but we all know what he is and what he isn't.

 

As I've stated before, I think he can be a better QB if he has a better OL.
