I thought Manning was going to take an incentive laden deal? Hehe

 

[The30YardSlant]

All they need is one title to make it worth it.

 

[wittenacious]

Big bucks deal, alright. Romo's contract is a bargain, by comparison. Glad we weren't having to bid for Peyton's services.

I think that was his offer with Colts

Romo's won't be far off that if he's going to stick around here. That ~100mil range is the new going rate for franchise quality QBs.

 

[Duane]

I'm interested to know how much of it is guaranteed and what he's making this first year.

Do you believe that Tony Romo will be worth paying another 5yr/100million dollar deal?

I like him -- but certainly his window for success is closing -- maybe not rapidly -- but certainly drawing to a close.

Its hard to say. He's gotten better each year he's been starter for us. He had his best season last year. He's probably going to have to get a extension at some point and it will be in the 100 million ranger and it should be.

 

[RS12]

There is supposed to be an out for Denver re neck injury.

 

[RS12]

If they give Romo big money, I would assume it would be front loaded.

Well, that will certainly be a hot-button topic (understatement of the century).

Quality QBs don't get any cheaper as time goes by, do they? The cap should be a lot higher by the time we face extending Romo at least. What's he signed through ... 2013? Longer? Gotta look it up.

If he continues to play at his current level and stays relatively healthy, yes. He'll only be 32 when his contract is up. If you're a team and you don't extend a 32y/o QB who averages 30TDs and over 4,000yrds a season, you don't ever want to succeed.

Truth.

I'm thinking the Broncos could be less sucessfull with Manning than they were with Tebow last year.

Not because Tebow is better than Manning, but the loss of the running QB dimension. It was the threat of Tebow running that gave the Bronco's the ability to move the ball. Manning doesn't offer that dimension.

Now instead of have three dimensions to attack defenses, they will have two. An average running game and a passing game that has a QB, but no real receiving threats for him to throw too.

Agreed. At 32, and if healthy, JJ'll extend Romo's contract in some way, shape or form. Never makes it to free agency. I'd bet on it.

Romo signed through 2013 on his current contract. I looked it up.

 

[romo2to]

5 years, 96 million for a 36 year old QB with a repaired spinal cord who we aren't sure can even take an NFL hit without jacking his neck/spinal cord up.

Wow.

On the lunch break they were touching on the subject. These guys are so dumb it's unreal. They said Romo is going to be 34 next season.

If you're a team and you don't extend a 32y/o QB who averages 30TDs and over 4,000yrds a season, you don't ever want to succeed.

Unless, of course, you're more interested in actual success than aggregate statistical production.
