Would rather go through the draft to fill the 3-company's roster at RT.

All I have to say is that athletes everywhere should be falling over themselves to sign with Tony Romo's agent(s).

If true, that's better news than the actual Romo signing.
It's sad that the fan base, the media, and now even the damn quarterback himself, has to point out to the Front Office that the O Line needs to be addressed.

The market for CBs wasn't set when Clements or Hall signed their stupid deals.
The market shouldn't be set because Flacco signed his.

The NFL market doesn't exactly follow the business model, punk.
except that it usually does. i.e. one guy gets one deal, if you are better you get a better deal.
The Packers aren't about to pay Rodgers 25 mil because they just pulled that number out of thin air.
Now in positions where it's tougher to judge play, you see some variance.

Again, Clements and Hall didn't "set the market". Why not?

Yet there is no fluctuation whatsoever. Contracts in the NFL only go in one direction.

$8 million is plenty. Can sign a free agent and still sign draft picks.

Love Romo, but damn, Jerry (Stephen) blinked big time on this.
Worst part is that this is only going to give the haters more ammo going forward. If Tony thought he got heat before, watch it now.

It is plenty to sign "A" free agent. We just paid an aging QB 25 year old money...might as well get the 33 year old guard to protect him for eight million.
Donovan McNabb does not approve of Tony Romo’s new contract
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 29, 2013, 4:51 PM EDT
The news that the Cowboys and quarterback Tony Romo have agreed to a six-year contract extension was met with an interesting reaction from one of Romo’s former NFC East counterparts.
Donovan McNabb, who quarterbacked teams that faced Romo’s Cowboys several times with the Eagles (and once with the Redskins), took to Twitter to say that he doesn’t think Romo deserves the kind of money he got, which is reportedly a contract that has six additional years, a total value of $108 million in new money, and $55 million guaranteed.
“Wow really, with one playoff win,” McNabb wrote. “You got to be kidding me.”
McNabb is right that Romo has been the starter for just one playoff win for the Cowboys — a record that falls far short of what the Eagles did with McNabb at the helm. McNabb started 16 playoff games for the Eagles, who went 9-7 in those games.
But McNabb of all people should also know that these contracts aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be: In 2010, McNabb signed what his agent called a five-year contract extension worth $78 million, with about $40 million guaranteed, with the Redskins. As it turned out, McNabb saw only a small fraction of that alleged $40 million guaranteed: He was benched less than a month after signing that contract, he accepted a massive pay cut just eight months later as part of his trade to the Vikings, and he was out of the NFL by the end of the following season.
So Romo may not make all the money he’s allegedly guaranteed to make on this new contract. But it’s certainly safe to say he’ll make more money than McNabb made on that last Redskins contract.
