Marc Colombo signs contract with Cowboys

by Dave Halprin on Mar 9, 2007 4:26 PM CST in Dallas Cowboys News

Marc Colombo will be back with the Cowboys.

Colombo, who started every game at right tackle in 2006, signed a two-year deal worth $7 million, ending a stop-and-start negotiation that went back to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

Colombo will receive a $4 million signing bonus and base salaries of $1 million and $2 million the next two seasons.

Thank goodness! Now things are A-OK. Colombo at RT, Davis at RG, Gurode at C, I like it!

And goodbye Marco Rivera.

Hat tip to dunkman for posting it first.

Wow our right side is pretty damn scary

Now Julius can't make any excuses. And Barber will have an even better year.

Ah sweet

Adams, Kosier, Gurode, Davis, Colombo

Now we can really go in a lot of different directions with our draft. Thank you Jerry!

Whew!

That is great news.

Now Davis can find a new home-sweet-home at right guard.

Yep, Jones and Barber should be smiling about now.

Keep doing what you been doing, keep getting what you been getting.

We now have no real NEEDS to worry about.
If Wade thinks Watkins can do the job at FS, and our current LBs can get the necessary pass rush, we truly can go BPA in the draft. Or maybe see if we can trade for a top pick next year- something like that. We know that Detroit and Oakland and probably Texas will all stink next year, so if we could somehow trade for their 2008 #1.....

Flozell

Awesome to think we won't have to rely so heavily on running behind Flo. Weird to think Flo may not even be one of our top-2 linemen on next year's front five. The Gurode, Kosier, Davis middle of the line is going to be huge!

Lest we forget that Grizz predicted this

That Grizz predicted this (see the post titled, "My Opinion...")

Ooops, my bust -- his Magic 8-ball did!

What does thing say about our Boyz possibly winning the SB this upcoming season?

i remember when everyone criticized...

Denver for trading for and signing Cleveland's D-line...everybody talked about how sorry they were and how dumb a move that was....until they went to the AFC Championship and everyone saw how improved their D-line was...

hopefully this move will pay off like that....there were a few raised eyebrows we got Colombo....we took heat for giving Flo his money...they were critics out there when we signed Kosier...and everybody screamed bloody murder when Davis got his money....hopefully those critics will turn to admirers after we maul a few teams with our huge O-line....
