Cowboys Want Romo for the Long Haul

October 31, 2007

The Dallas Cowboys signed their star quarterback, Tony Romo, to a 6-year, $67.5 million dollar contact yesterday. The deal will make Romo the third highest paid quarterback in the NFL, and makes it clear that the Cowboys believe that Romo is expected to be the team’s leader for the long haul. The contract is remarkable for its size, and the fact that it as been given to a guy who went undrafted, and was basically unknown until very recently. While Romo has been with the Cowboy, the team has started several quarterbacks, including Quincy Carter, Chad Hutchinson, Vinny Testaverde and Drew Bledsoe.

Currently Tony Romo owns the fifth-highest QB Rating in the NFL. He has thrown for 1,984 yards and 16 touchdowns. But perhaps the real reason that Romo is the man now in Big D is that he has been getting this team wins. The Cowboys are considered by many to be the best, or one of the best, teams in the NFC. Even when he does poorly, such as his game versus Buffalo when he threw five interceptions, he still finds a way to win. If Romo can keep up his production, then the Cowboys look like one of the early favorites to get to the Super Bowl. Congratulations on the dough, Romo.
