Tony Romo signs $108 million extension to stay with Cowboys

Romo signed a six-year, $108 million extension with the Cowboys on Friday (on top of the $11.5 million he’s due to earn in 2013), which could keep the longtime starter in Dallas through 2019. The deal includes $55 million guaranteed — or three million more than defending Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco recently received from the Baltimore Ravens.

It’s a huge commitment by the Cowboys to a player that is much more appreciated by his own franchise than by anyone else. Romo is 55-38 as a starter since 2006, but the Cowboys have finished each of the past two seasons at 8-8 and have not been to the playoffs since 2009. That year produced Romo’s only playoff win, a 34-14 triumph over Philadelphia; Dallas lost to Minnesota by 31 the next week.

Romo would have become an unrestricted free agent after 2013 — a clause in his previous contract barred the Cowboys from using the franchise tag on him. That’s not an issue any longer.

Or do you think he has photos of Jerreh with a donkey in Mexico? That's a big commitment to mediocrity.
