At least 3 more years of starting Gerald Sensabaugh in the secondary.

This is exactly the report on Sensabaugh. I've been saying it for years.
Overall, a criticism of Sensabaugh is that he doesn't have the cover skills to be a proper Free Safety. But, as a Strong Safety, he does not possess the demeanor or ability to be a big hitting strong safety in the box... In short, he seems to be a "finesse" SS, or a SS who does not enjoy hitting
Last night showed Sensabaugh was not worthy of any extension. He took unnecessary steps to his right (Eli's left) leaving the middle of the field wide open for the first big completion. He is routinely nowhere near the targeted WR on double teams leaving the Corners to release a player to help that isn't there. He is about as physical as a grandmother in run support.
It seems that ever since uber-talented Roy Williams deteriorated in front of their eyes the Cowboys braintrust has become blissfully clueless to quality safety play. In this pass-happy league, cover-skill Free Safeties are a huge necessity. Ryan's blitzing, pressure defense would make a safety who can cover more ground and has the ability to read QB's, keep plays in front of him, is even more important.
Signing Sensabaugh to an extension may seem like a "small" move to some of you but is part of a bigger problem. We are struggling with talent-evaluation. We also have issues with coaching the secondary. People complain about the cushions the CB's are giving. Do you think the CB's are doing this on their own or being coached that way? Either way it's a problem. If they are doing it on their own, where is the staff to correct it? Why the hell is Sensabaugh playing 30 yards of the line of scrimmage?

I agree man. There is a huge lack of foresight and talent evaluation here. What's scary is that it has been occurring for years now. When did Roy Williams leave? It should not take this long to replace talent. We also allow players like to Newman to stick around until they're completely just washed up. The Pats traded away Seymour a bit prematurely, but they've otherwise been on point with getting solid value back for players on the cusp of becoming washed out. They have huge issues with management and it has been that way since Ireland left for Miami. The staff that Parcells brought in built a good foundation for this team that is now slowly deteriorating. The coaching is not helping either. I still think we have the talent for a deep playoff run, but Garrett is just not capable enough to get us there.

Suck my balls, BoB!!!! Sensabaugh isn't even guaranteed to be on the roster NEXT season..this contract was brilliant. Here are the specifics
After playing the last two-plus seasons on one-year contracts totaling $6 million, Dallas Cowboys safety Gerald Sensabaugh signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract extension late last week that included $8 million in guaranteed money.
Through a league source, Mac's Football Blog has gotten a closer look at Sensabaugh's contract and on the surface, it appears to be a two-year, $8 million extension with $4 million fully guaranteed.
As part of the extension, Sensabaugh received a $4 million signing bonus, with $800,000 in proration spread from 2011 through 2015. Sensbaugh has a $1 million base salary in 2012, which is currently guaranteed for injury only, but will become fully guaranteed (skill and cap) if he's on the roster on March 13, 2012, the first day of the 2012 league year. In 2013, Sensabaugh has a $3 million base salary that is currently guaranteed for injury only, but will become fully guaranteed if he's on the roster on the first day of the 2013 league year.
From 2014-16, Sensabaugh, who turns 30 in 2013, has $14.5 million non-guaranteed base salaries of $4 million (2014-15) and $6.5 million (2016), with $250,000 base salary de-escalators in each year which kick in if Sensabaugh fails to complete offseason workouts.
When you combine this multi-year extension with the one-year, $2.5 million contract Sensabaugh has been playing under, he'll make $6.5 million in 2011, which is a decent haul just one year after being denied unrestricted free agency by the uncapped season, and $10.5 million over a three-year period (2011-13), which is similar to what Melvin Bullitt received from the Indianapolis Colts in August.
Beyond 2013, however, there are no guarantees for Sensabaugh and plenty of salary cap savings incentives -- $3.2 million (2014), $4 million (2015), and $6.5 million (2016) -- for the Cowboys to release a safety who will be over 30 at that time or gain leverage in a contract renegotiation.

Although that sounds like a good deal, I can't say I put much stock in "Macs Football Blog."
Not saying it isn't true. I'd just like to get the info from a more reliable source.
Also, I think Sensy has been playing well this year and I'm not really against the signing.

Keeping Sensabaugh as a starter is a good deal? Pray tell what is a bad one?

I'm not pissed at the monetary value of his contract, just the fact that his extension guarantees that he is here for at least 2 years. He clearly sucks.
