Tony Romo's preseason just got better. The fourth-year quarterback signed a two-year, $3.9 million deal, which includes a $2 million signing bonus earlier this afternoon. Because Romo was already signed through this season, the deal is basically a one-year extension. He could make another $1 million in incentives if he takes a certain amount of snaps over the next two seasons. Stuck in traffic on his way to Texas Stadium, Romo said, "At the end of the day, the reason I want to stay here is because the Joneses are about winning. The coaching staff has instilled some confidence in me, and I've shown them I can be somewhat successful." The Cowboys wanted to sign Romo to a longer deal, but both sides decided to focus on the next couple of seasons. "They stepped up to the plate," Romo said of Jerry and Stephen Jones. "Personally, it's nice to see Jerry show this type of commitment. I think it will be beneficial for both sides." |
