Romo Contract

Debates over. Romo will get an extension. My question is what average per year amount do you think he will get, and what is appropriate. Leave the hate/love at the door, and come with the facts, and a reasonable argument.

Last contract Age 28
6 year 67.5 mil contract Average: 11.25mil per year.

Actually turned into a 6 year approx 55 mil contract with voidable years.
Average about 9 mil per year.

Now will be Age 33 in April and coming off a 5000 yard passing season, but the linger of a terrible performance vs Washington for the division and a playoff appearance.

Comparables: Similar Age and Achievements. Note. Age is the age when they signed their contract, not current age.

Carson Palmer Age 32
Signed 4 year 43mil contract
Average 10.75 mil per year.

Micheal Vick Age 32
1 year 12.2mil contract(Incentive based).

Alex Smith Age 28
3 year 24mil
Average 8 mil per year.

Matt Schaub Age 31
5 yr 66.15mil contract.
Average 13.23mil per year.

Straight math (10.75+12.2+8+13.23)/4= 11.045 Average per year.
Average Age is 30.75 or almost 31.

While Romo's stats and QBR might put him in the 15 mil per season category, I think his age, and lack of big game performance will bring down his price. I am guessing it will be a 5 year deal, adding a 4 year extension to 2013 at an average of 8 to 9 mil per season.

Your thoughts?

We have a franchise filled with imbeciles who overpay their players and structure contracts in the worst possible ways. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Romo get a contract which pays him $21-22M per season and leave us in a cap hell situation unless he plays out the entire deal, thus limiting our ability to draft and groom a QB to replace Romo.

I thought he would be asking for 14-15 million a year.

If its anything above the Schaub contract I will be disappointed.

$12-13 mil a year would make sense to me.

He'll probably get a deal that averages close to $15M annually. Hopefully, the contract isn't longer than 4 years, but I doubt it.

What's the status on Romo's contract in Dallas?

I'm hopeful you guys can lock up your Franchise QB, to a long term deal.

Should make the NFC East fun to watch for many years.

Good luck this off season.

We likely won't see a contract until after Flacco is signed.

Given his late start as a QB, I expect a similar trajectory as Captain Comeback (not comparing careers, merely length of tenure). As such, the deal will likely be 4-5 years.
