DMN Blog: What's fair for Romo?
Tony Romo, a bargain at $1.5 million this season, would like to sign a new contract before the season begins.
Jerry has already said he sees Romo as the long-awaited, long-term solution at QB after a painful procession of post-Aikman failures. Jerry backed it up by pulling off the Brady Quinn Con Job instead of drafting a potential franchise QB.
What does that make Romo worth? I can't imagine the Cowboys giving him top-five QB money, which would happen if they had to make him the franchise player. Because of that, it seems like Jerry would also have a sense of urgency to get Romo's deal done before the Giants come to town for the season opener.
The six-year, $48 million deal Matt Schaub, a much less proven commodity than the inexperienced Romo, signed with the Texans didn't do Jerry any favors.
