Did the Cowboys overpay!

[jjtweeks]

A six year deal worth 108 mil is big news for a 33 year old quarterback. 55 guaranteed and 25 mil in signing bonus. I know he is not all the Cowboys problem for the past woeful seasons but he has made some costly mistakes over the years on key plays. Seems a bit much imo. Comes out to around 18 mil a year. I could see that for maybe a few years but they really must believe in this guy.

Jones makes it a habit to over pay the players he believes in and this seems a bit much to me.

ewwwwwwlllgh... yeah, that's not smart money at all... as much as I would give Rodgers the moon... I wouldn't get Romo a 5 dollar handy at Anthony's

I imagine Flacco's deal had something to do with the high numbers.

 

[Beermutts]

Can't wait to hear the logic in this one....

55 million guaranteed is 3 more than Flacco got...

"Romo's record over the past three years is 17-21. Even if "wins" are no way to measure quarterback performance, Romo hasn't taken Dallas to the playoffs since 2009 and has just one career playoff win."

 

[Miller]

And were already seeing the bad deal for Flacco drive more bad deals....this will continue. This is a ton of guaranteed money for Romo, and I like Romo a lot more than most do.

As bad as this is, it scares me the numbers I hear rumored for Rodgers coming, then Ryan will be next. Sigh, it is like one large slippery slope

I don't think the Cowboys had a better alternative, and i think Romo is pretty good.

 

[Zach]

Give it a few years and he will be the backup making five times the starter

I agree!
