Cowboys, Hamlin nearing agreement on multi-year contract
The Cowboys are very close to signing safety Ken Hamlin to a multi-year contract, according to a source. A deal could be finalized as soon as later today or Tuesday.
The team designated Hamlin as their franchise player back in February and have been working towards a long-term deal since then.
Hamlin finished the 2007 season with 47 total tackles, five interceptions and 15 passes defensed.
For some perspective on what the terms may be, Troy Polamalu signed a five-year, $33 million deal in July of 2007 and Bob Sanders got five years, $37.5 million from Indianapolis last December. Hamlin isn't quite as good as those two, but a $30 million extension through 2012 might be a reasonable price tag.
