fucking LOL

As an Eagles fan, this is great news.

 

[Ænima]

Romo is gonna be 33, how many years does he even have left to fail? If Dallas gives him any real money beyond year 2 they are fucking nuts.

Agreed. If I were the GM I would strongly consider trading him right now. This is Jerry we are talking about though, he is with the side of Cowboys Nation that believes all of Romo's failures are somebody else's fault.

lol, and before I even finish this post I see that he was extended.

 

[Colasante]

Six years, $108 million, $55 million guaranteed. Wow. I guess we won't have to worry about the Cowboys contending again until at least 2019.

 

[ActStriker]

ahaha

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 59s
#Cowboys and Tony Romo strike a deal. Per RJ Gonser of CAA, it's 6-year extension with $55M guaranteed. More than Flacco.

 

[CB3]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[WedgeX]

This Romo news is some of the best I've heard this off-season.

 

[Milchjon]

Oh my god, that's hilarious.

 

[BlackGhost]

Damn, he didn't even have to win a SuperBowl. Or call himself Elite

 

[yankeehater]

What the fuck are they doing? That is easily the worst contract in NFL history.

 

[ZZMitch]

Been away from this thread for a while, but I had to pop back in after hearing this Romo news.

Fucking LOL

 

[JABEE]

:jnc :jnc :JNC :JNC :JNC

 

[Dreams-Visions]

WTF AT THAT ROMO EXTENSION.

WTF.

 

[SlackAdjuster]

That was the final straw. The heroic Trent Truck run that defeated his Chargers was the breaking point though.

That was one of two games Ive ever left before it was over. Completely soaked in 40 degree rain with high winds. Ugh.

 

[BannedEpisode]

Still not as funny as the Palmer fiasco but still.

l - o - l

 

[Talon]

That contract is awesome. For everyone else.

 

[smokeymicpot]

A lot of money so Romo can Romo.

 

[Futurevoid]

That contract is awesome. For everyone else.

.

Raiders trading for Flynn takes them off the board for Geno. Bills/Cards left for the "reach" so to speak.

If the Cards do take him, I'm giving you a never ending raft of shit, Squall.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Jerry has gone senile.

 

[JABEE]

$55 Million guaranteed. Hahahahahahahahahahah

:jnc

 

[BlackGhost]

It feels like the sky is falling.

 

[Rorschach]

Saw the Romo thing coming.

 

[Ænima]

Jerry has gone senile.

As bad as he has been for a while, I never truly thought he was in Al Davis territory until now.

 

[WedgeX]

It feels like the sky is falling.

If by falling you mean opening up with confetti, balloons and fireworks...then yes.

 

[Officerrob]

I'm not too crazy about the Flynn trade. Hoping we're aren't giving up too much for him. Really don't want to give up any future picks.

Unless he restructures, we only save about 1 mil towards the cap-

Palmer 9 mill dead money
Flynn 5.25 mil base salary


edit: lol never knew Flynn was Jamarcus Russell's backup at LSU

That's true for this year, but I think this is about throwing Palmer's dead money onto the pile and getting out from under that contract going forward. Palmers cap hit would be $17.335 million in 2014, and McKenzie wants no part of that. If this goes down, we gotta be getting close to $50 million in dead cap this year

 

[squicken]

It kind of sullies the Giants Super Bowls when you realize that Dallas and Washington are run by morons

Palmer needs to go, but there's no reason to trade for Flynn when a similarly mediocre quarterback in Kevin Kolb is available without having to give up picks.

 

[Striker]

This division has Romo, Vick, and a gimpy RGIII.

Perry Fewell, step your boys up. No excuses.

Green Bay and New England can't beat them in the post-season.

 

[Pagusas]

Now I'm really interested in seeing Rodgers deal.

I agree with that, I think this might be more of McKenzie's favoring of Packers crap

The man will be perfectly healthy week one. Perhaps you didn't see the Addidas commercial?

[Bowser]

Tony Romo is a more famous, less successful version of Jake Delhomme

 

[BlackGhost]

Lmao did anyone else just see Mcnabbs tweet?!

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

lol @ McNabb trlling the contract on twitter talking about 1 playoff win.

Can someone remind me who Romo beat in that one playoff win?

 

[Wes]

Matt Flynn to Oakland? Wonder what that does for them RE: Geno.

 

[mightynine]

Lmao did anyone else just see Mcnabbs tweet?!

You're supposed to include it...

Donovan McNabb ?@donovanjmcnabb 108m Tony Romo 6 yr 55 million dollar extension. Wow really, with one playoff win. You got to be kidding me

This is gold. I hate the Cowboys with a passion.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Love the Romo deal, potentially means 6 more years of highly entertaining Cowboy football.

 

[squicken]

I wonder if McNabb threw up when he saw Romo's contract

 

[mr2xxx]

I'm late to the news but thank god Fred Davis is staying in Washington. One less position to worry about in this draft.

 

[yankeehater]

Now I'm really interested in seeing Rodgers deal.

$1,000,000,000!!!!

 

[ConradCervantes]

Jerry is one of those owners who has his family employed throughout the organization, isn't he? Cowboys fans better pray his progeny don't dickride like their daddy did.

 

[LiveWire]

Jerry Jones has now taken the title of worst owner from Dan Snyder.

Dan Snyder looks like Dan Rooney compared to Jerry Jones now.

I'm late to the news but thank god Fred Davis is staying in Washington. One less position to worry about in this draft.

Yea, smart move all around. Give Washington the security they need for this last cap penalty year, give him a chance to prove he's still worth the big money (which he absolutely will get if he has a good season). A bit more risk for him as if he gets injured again then his chances for a bigger payday go down, but his only other option was really Buffalo, and we all know that's really not an option.

Yeah I know haha I was just to lazy to find it on my iPod, I knew one of you good sirs would.

 

[Nakazato]

OMG LOL

FLACCO MONEY

 

[cdyhybrid]

Matt Flynn to Oakland? Wonder what that does for them RE: Geno.

I doubt they draft a QB first now. I could see one in the second or later and have them compete with Flynn for the job.

At least Jerry has a field in his stadium that is at least at the quality of a high school field.

 

[squicken]

Jerry the talent evaluator is actually not bad. Not great but there are many who are worse. He's awful at managing his cap, and he hires dumb asses as coaches. That's his biggest flaw. He hires coaches that he can push around, and so of course the players don't really respect that guy

 

[Ænima]

Lol. There are some Boys fans around here who think Stephan Jones is some kind of young GM prodigy, and that when Jerry retires he will return them to glory.

 

[yankeehater]

So Brady got a $30m extension and Romo got $55m, makes sense.

 

[Milchjon]

He's still young, still a talent!

 

[Slo]

I have no words.

Whatever, Clemons was playing with fire by playing against the team that first signed him. He should've gracefully allowed RG3 to finish the game after the 14-0 rush.
