Romo Gets Seven-Year Deal, More Guaranteed Than Flacco

Sep 23, 2014 6:34 AM

The Dallas Cowboys have reached an agreement on a seven-year contract with Tony Romo that clears up cap space and locks up their quarterback.

The six-year extension is worth $108 million, according to league sources.

Romo's salary cap number was set to be $16.8 million in the final year of his current deal.

He receives more guaranteed money than in the six-year, $120.6 million contract that Joe Flacco recently signed with Baltimore Ravens, sources said.

Romo will receive $55 million guaranteed from the Cowboys, $3 million more than what Flacco got from the Ravens.

Cowboys Can't Place Tag On Romo In 2014

Sep 23, 2014 6:34 AM

Tony Romo's contract with the Dallas Cowboys was structured in a way that prevents the team from applying their franchise tag in 2014.

That explains why the Cowboys are so interested in extending the quarterback's contract.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Romo’s contract extends beyond 2013 by three years. Thus, Romo will become a free agent in 2014 not by the expiration of the deal, but by the voiding of the final three years.
