Romo gets contract extension:
 

According to NFL radio at 6:18; 6 Years, 67Million, 31Million of that guaranteed.

Let's see if the Poke remains as hungry now that he's gotten all-you-can-eat money . . .

Re: Romo gets contract extension:
 

He was going to get paid this year regardless. He took out a 30 Million insurance policy before he got the extension in case he got hurt.

I highly doubt that he starts stinking up the place now. Especially because he still has the insurance and 31 Million guaranteed. That is 61 Million and all he has to do is be reckless. He is going to be the one of the most dangerous men on the football field before long. That is of coarse, if he isn't already.

i like the idea that the cowboys have invested their success in romo . . . i think he is a servicable but not great quarterback, a .500 win guy who can get you to the playoffs but not win the big one

Re: Romo gets contract extension:
 

Hopefully he can live up to that big contract by playing more games like the one in Buffalo. That was the Romo I like to watch.:woot:

Re: Romo gets contract extension:
 

Good for him.

I hope we'll look to extend Campbell at the end of this season.

.500 win? He is 12-5 as a starter, that is like .705! How many other QB's in the history of the league went 12-5 in the first 17 starts? I don't know exactly, but I will wager you can count them on one hand.

And he has only had 1 playoff game in his career. Kinda hard to judge based on 1.

Re: Romo gets contract extension:
 

For some reason i just can't stand the guy. There are some cowboys that were hard to hate, but Romo is easy to dislike for me.

Regardless of that, unfortunately, the guy can play football. It remains to be seen if he can do it consistently, but for 1 full year in the league i think he's the 3rd best passer. I've talked about "it" for a QB, and he has it.

[quote=redsk1;371408]For some reason i just can't stand the guy. There are some cowboys that were hard to hate, but Romo is easy to dislike for me.[/quote]I think so too. He is like Brady (not in numbers and stats) you either like him or hate him. Not like Cutler or Young or other QBs where you neither like nor dislike the guy.

I think its too early to think about extending JC contract. I want to see more of him before we give him the big deal.

Uh I'm almost satisfied with JC, like I said ALMOST.. If it wasn't for drops WRs dropped, I wld wanted Redskins to extend the contract with JC..

Dont worry he will get his big deal from the Skins.

Re: Romo gets contract extension:
 

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought Campbell just signed a 5 year/20 mill dollar deal in 2005? There is still plenty of time before having to think about an extension.

Romo was in the last year of his contract is was going to be an UFA after the season. Getting the extension done prior to Nov 5th allowed the organization to absorb a portion of the cap hit on this years cap, which lightens the cap hit on the remaining years.

He is signed until 2009 so why would we even start to think about extending his contract until the end of next year? He has played OK this year but I don't think he is scaring anyone at this point in his career. Don't get me wrong I think JC has allot of up side but we have plenty of time to wait and see before signing any new deals.

The point is to lock him up now while he would still come at a relatively decent value. 2 years down the road if he's one of the top QBs in the game his value will go through the roof.
