That was my question at first, but apparently it isnt common for such high profile deals.

My question is: Why leak this? Its such bad optics not just for him, but the organization as well

Perhaps they leaked it to send him a message and expose him to the court of public opinion, in an attempt to get him to put the effort in.

No. Romo did not.

Romo was a student of the game and was involved in every single offensive coaches meeting, and provided input on game plans. Also he and Witten developed the Y option on a napkin together. Romo did not need a "do your job" clause in his contract.

Shame on you lol

Its not a "Do your job" clause though lol. As matter of fact, that's a easy *** clause for Romo to abide by so it wouldn't shock me if he agreed to it.

It wasn’t there.

It’s there for Murray because he doesn’t study.

Well yeah I mean that's clearly why its there for him. Like I said earlier, for Romo to even make it in the league as a undrafted guy he had to study. I just thought I remember something about Jerry trying to put something similar in his contract....

The Cardinals are a loser organization and this is just another move that insures they continue to be a loser organization.

I seem to remember Jerry doing the same thing to Romo on his last contract.
He made public statements how he was basically demanding Tony to be more of a student of the game like Peyton Manning.

Maybe not, but Jerry commented on it.

From NBCDFW:
"Shortly after giving quarterback Tony Romo an unprecedented six-year, $108 million extension, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones made it clear that the new deal came with a whole lot of high expectations.

Namely, he told the media that he expected Romo to play a role within the team’s offensive game-planning as important as that of Peyton Manning in Denver--that Romo should be spending “Peyton Manning time” at Valley Ranch, a reference to the amount of time Manning spends preparing from week to week."

I think when he did his last contract there were things in there to make him more involved in game planning etc ala Peyton manning.

And his response was "F$#@ them". Yeah I'm not upset he's gone.

But back to Murray. That's pretty bad. One thing about Dak that has never been questioned is his work ethic and commitment. I remember reading that Garrett would give him plays to study in TC and he'd have them memorized the next day. You can't coach commitment or work ethic.

Dak also turned down a Kanye concert to study film his rookie season.
