BREAKING: Tony Romo deal DONE. 6 year, 108m. 55 mil guaranteed

[ThoughtExperiment]

Archer on right now says we only save 5 million on the cap this year.

Seems way too pricey to me and i am a Tony Romo fan. I don’t get where this team is going. I am gonna be a Texan fan.

I got an email about the extension earlier this afternoon but didn't want to share due to the controversy it'd create coming from me

 

[Jon88]

We always overpay it seems.

 

[2233boys]

Like Romo but I just wonder what a real GM would have done. I think we overextended him and overpaid him.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

You either re-sign him, find his immediate successor like the Colts did with Luck, or trade him. You don't let a QB like Romo just walk away.

Maybe 4 years from now, but not at this time.

Wonderful.

Better hope the draft plays out well because the Cowboys are not signing Andre Smith with that kind of cap room.

I bet you thought your friend was joking first, right?

Are you questioning me? Wanna bet $100?

MODS LOCK THIS THREAD!!!!

I also emailed the Cowboys today to let them know about Barrett Jones foot injury and that Datone Jones could probably play DT in the 4-3

You don't question junk like that, bro!

@fishsports 9m #Cowboys source says Romo cap impact moves from $16.8M to $11.8M. @1053thefan



Only 5 mil in savings?

Well, that's enough to sign draft picks.

Guess we still have to extend Spencer if we want to sign anyone else.

 

[2233boys]

They still have the money that comes off June 1 for Spears for the draft plus Free could get cut too June 1.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

exactly. We have the $$$ now to sign FAs. Cut free then then draft picks later

Not sure i have it figured it correctly but it sounds like we are locked into romo through 2016 at a minimum.

That means we need a minimum of 4 more years of great play from tony. Is 4 more too much to expect from him?

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

What difference does it make to McNabb?

Romo effectively ended his career in Philly .... His career period after big losses in back to back weeks..

F him

 

[UVAwahoos]

Love it.

I hope he got assurances that Garrett would be accidentally left somewhere hot without sunblock before the season starts too.

Also, lol @ McNabb--whose career was essentially ended by Romo's cowboys--for his ironic little post. He's one to criticize the contract and career. Please.

It depends on if the hillbilly wants to fix the offensive line. If he still thinks he doesn't need to, 4 years is way too much to ask.

Like Balt, I think Dallas should have gotten this done about a month ago before free agency started. We've missed out on a lot of great pieces with this new cap space. Fucking JJ.

Yep, the genius probably cost himself more money by stalling or whatever
