The agreement was made with Romo in order for the team to lock up their franchise quarterback.  It will also allow them to clear up salary-cap space to bring in more players for this season.

Romo received $55 million in guaranteed money from the Cowboys, $3 million more than Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco received in the mega-deal he signed earlier this month.

The 32-year-old Romo is the Cowboys’ all-time leader in touchdown passes with 174 and holds single-season franchise records for both passing yards and touchdowns.  He has been with the club since 2003.
