The Dallas Cowboys made a move for their future by signing quarterback Tony Romo to a six-year, $67 million dollar extension.

Dallas quarterbacks have been so hit-and-miss, well, more miss, since Troy Aikman’s retirement, the move to wrap Romo up isn’t a surprise. The money Jerry Jones threw at him might be a surprise, but Romo has proved that last year’s success wasn’t a fluke, that he is a top quarterback in the NFL. Early in Brett Favre’s career, the Packers wrapped him up with long, rich contract, and he led them to Super Bowl two years later. Romo might not be headed for a Hall of Fame career, but in an era where competent QBs are at a premium, the Cowboys were wise to sign him now before other teams came calling.
