true but i'm talking from a production and responsibility point of view.

carr has been a disappointment, melton plays minimal snaps for some reason, tyron has been up and down this year, witten is a blocker and has good rapport with romo when the play breaks down but there are many tight ends around the league that are bigger passing threats. romo i'd like to see take a 3 million dollar paycut in the offseason down to 15 million to help sign some of these players. the days of him throwing 40 times a game are over. in fact he's only had >30 passing attempts in 3 games this year. the responsibility has shifted considerably to the oline and run game. i hope he realizes this and gives a little back to have a better end to his career.

If you were overachieving at work and playing to your capabilities would you take a pay cut?

I am believer in that if you get paid more than your piers - you should perform better than your piers. Here is look at top 5 paid player for Dallas to keep eye on during stretch run:

Average Salary
1. Tony Romo (Avg Salary = $18 million)
2. Tyron Smith (Avg Salary = 12.2 million)
3. Brandon Carr (Avg Salary = 10 million)
4. Jason Witten (Avg Salary = 7.4 million)
5. Henry Melton (Avg Salary = 6.8 million)

** Sean Lee at $7 million is excluded because he wont be playing in this game.

Melton's max pay for 2014 is 3.5M if he reaches all incentives. The Cowboys are highly unlikely to pick up his option for the remaining years, so his Avg Salary is really 3.5M.
