ESPN and the AP is reporting that the Cowboys have extended Tony Romo on a 6yr deal for $67.5 million and $30 million is guarenteed. I predicted Romo would get his extension during the bye week if not soon after that. Good news for Cowboys fans.
The Dallas Cowboys have reached an agreement with quarterback Tony Romo on a six-year, $67.5 million contract extension, $30 million which is guaranteed, sources told ESPN’s Ed Werder and ESPN.com’s Matt Mosley.
The deal is expected to be announced at an 11 a.m. ET press conference on Tuesday. Romo’s deal surpasses the six-year, $65 million contract ($27 million guaranteed) that St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger signed at the start of training camp. Romo and Bulger have the same agents, Ken Kremer and Tom Condon.
Romo was in the final year of his contract and could have become a free agent at the end of the season. By signing him to a new deal before Nov. 5, the Cowboys will be able to apply some of this money toward their 2007 salary cap. (espn)
Savy dealing by Jerry Jones once again. Next on the agenda will be getting Marion Barber extended. I had also predicted Barber would be extended on or soon after the bye week. Barber should be the next target, do not risk it, get it done, and get it done asap.
Like I said before, we must keep the Quadruplets (Romo, Witten, Owens, and Barber) together as long as possible. These guys are core players, and with just one of them out of the lineup, there’s no way we are 6-1 right now, and that speaks volumes.
Jerry, stay the course and lets get Millionarion Barber signed, sealed, and extended! I’m pumped, you’re pumped, let’s kick some Eagles ass!
