Reach for the stars and you may land on the moon with more guarantee money or larger 5th year salary.
This deal is so done, it is ridiculous for the Jones' to drag the inevitable out this long. Bad look on Jerry "Dumbo GM" Jones' part dealing with a 4 year QB that was rookie of the year, 3 time pro bowler, 2 time NFC East Champion, best regular season in franchise history as a rookie, and was 5 yards short of a single season passing record that his beloved Romo took 9 seasons to get.
With the NFL making dumb minority diversity incentives like draft picks for hiring minorities, this makes you wonder still about the NFL QB position, GM position, and Head Coach position for African Americans. What is it that you do not like about a young winning QB that is the unquestioned team leader being the face of your NFL franchise for America's Team?
Nothing about this negotiation makes sense. NFL contracts are not guaranteed. In fact some guaranteed money is not guaranteed. So who cares that he wants $45M, $145M, or $45 in the 5th year. This is the biggest constipated load I have seen since 3 days in a row at the all you can eat Chinese buffet.
