DMN Blog - Romo rumor: Asking for $30 million guaranteed
Enough of the rumors on ProFootballTalk.com end up being right that the site has to be taken seriously. They're reporting that Tony Romo's agent, Tom Condon, is asking for $30 million-plus guaranteed -- more than Peyton Manning got.
We mentioned last night that the Cowboys plan to simply slap the franchise tag on quarterback Tony Romo if his agent, Tom Condon, continues to insist upon more than $30 million in guaranteed money for the undrafted signal-caller turned budding superstar.
But this strategy presumes that Romo will sign the one-year tender and report for duty. If he chooses not to sign the tender and stay away from training camp, the preseason, and up to ten weeks of the regular season, the Cowboys will be screwed for 2008.
I wouldn't worry about all that, folks. It might have to wait until the off-season, but Jerry will open up his wallet and get this thing worked out.
Even if that doesn't happen, I'd be surprised to see Romo hold out into the regular season. He's too competitive to sit at home.
