It has been reported that Dallas had Henson slotted as a late first/early second round pick had the trade not happened and Henson re-entered the draft.

As for the brinks truck myth...

3.5 MILLION GUARANTEED

300 THOUSAND GUARANTEED.

$3.5M guaranteed? At the pace he's earning it it will take 7 years. Henson made rookie min last year and will make min this year - no bonus.

Uh no. He already made the $3.5 million bonus. So, in Romo's 4 years, he will make almost as much as Henson did when he signed.

Does it matter?

He was a 6th round pick.

Where someone is drafted matters more than performance or potential?

Strange math.
Got that right, Stauback was drafted in the 10th round because of the uncertainty of his situation and Henson was drafted by the Texan in the 6th because of the uncertainty of his situation.

That he was a 6th round pick? No, it shouldn't matter at all.

Yep, you are right. I thought that $3.5 million was signing bonus, but it is just guaranteed money.

Should be a good battle. I personally think Henson will win out, but I hope they both flash some potential this year.

Should be a fun battle. Romo is the underdog but has a fighting chance.

Now Romo is the underdog, but the writing was on the wall a couple of weeks ago? Make up your mind!!!
