Cowboys QB Tony Romo is feeling good about the ongoing talks with the Cowboys about a contract extension. His current deal runs through 2007. The two sides are in the preliminary stages, but Romo said he would like to get something done before the start of the season. What the Cowboys must decide now is how much Romo is worth. Despite his Pro Bowl season in 2006, he has only 11 starts. While the Houston Texans set the benchmark with their six-year, $48 million deal for Matt Schaub, who has only two career starts, Romo is still considered a developing player.
