I didn't realize we would have that much to play with. How much would it be if we got both done?

But one thing to keep in mind -- with all the complaining about "kicking the can" for contracts. Here we have two deals that are pay as you go ... does that seem favorable?

Not with those figures or positions....Especially snce I dont believe paying our QB franchise $$$$ until this team proves to be a winner with him at the helm--good yes...NOT GREAT

Reducing each cap hit by 5m would help in FA and wouldn't kick too much extra money down the road. But that is incumbent on the idea of keeping them for 3-4 more years.

So you hate Romo. Do we really need another thread about that?

Look at what Flacco's deal has done to the Ravens already....I just dont think paying romo anywhere near Flacco/Payton is wise....considering his $16 mil this year is absurd, especially with Brady doing his cap friendly deal for the Pats

It doesn't matter what you believe in, Teams pay their franchise QB, the franchise money. Romo is a franchise QB and he will get top money as a franchise QB.
