Dallas Cowboys extend Terence Newman

PrintPer PFT.com the Cowboys have extended the contract for Terence Newman:
Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, it’s a six-year extension, and it’s worth $50.2 million, with $22.5 million in guaranteed money.
The Cowboys and Terence Newman agreed to a six-year extension worth $50.2 million on Tuesday, beating a deadline in which the salary-cap rules will change after NFL owners decided to opt out of the final three years of the collective bargaining agreement.
Here is how Newman's deal compares with other cornerbacks signed recently:
Nate Clements, San Francisco: 8 years, $80 million; $22 million guaranteed.
Asante Samuel, Philadelphia: 6 years, $57 million; $20 million guaranteed.
Marcus Trufant, Seattle: 6 years, $50.2 milion; $20 million guaranteed.
It will be interesting to see the exact figures in the deal and how it affects the salary cap for the next few years and what his salary will jump to in 2010. Newman's contract is also worth the same amount as Trufant's but he is also getting a bit more in guaranteed money ($22.5 million over the first three years). Overall I think it is a great deal for a great player who is in his prime. It's also good to see that the Cowboys didn't have to break the bank to keep him.

Kick Ass!!!!
Not only redone, but the 1st guy to get redone. Good job Jerry!
T-New, shutting down WR's for Dallas since 2003
Time for Barber
To fall in-line and sign for the right price..
"Why everything that's supposed to be bad, Make me feel so good?"
So Ware, TO, and Canty?
Get them done during the season next season?
"Why everything that's supposed to be bad, Make me feel so good?"
Not bad, but...
a little more than I thought he would get. It sounds like the deal was front loaded so it might be more like a 3 or 4 year. We might have just blew our wad on him and this could prohibit us from resiging MB3, Canty and Hamlin. Man, I sure hope not….
Do you really think that they are going to risk Canty, MB3 and Hamlin for one player?
I’ll bet the price of the contract just signed that we still have flexibility built in and we’ll sign whomever they want signed.

then we are betting? You are paying me 22 mil if I'm right that we haven't capped ourselves out?

I've already seen your post, Doubting Thomas. . .
Don’t you think that three seasons of a cap strapped team returning 3-11 seasons taught Jerry the same type of lesson that two first round picks for Joey Galloway taught him?

I just don't see how we can sign all three players
Somebody is going after the season from Hamlin, Canty and MB3. Maybe 2 out of the 3 are. Maybe they can sqeeze in Hamlin this year? I don’t know. The numbers should be out today…
And you are a capologist?
I hope so otherwise you are going to owe me 22 mil. If any of those three are gone, its on them – not the cap. Barber wanting LT money – that’s on him. Hamlin not signing his tender, that’s on him. You get me?

nope, just good with numbers
I don’t have them either so how can I say if it was good contract or not. Nick Eatman over at Dallascowboys.com has an article up stating it’s more like a 7- year deal. So that means they probably front loaded the heck out of it for the first 3 or 4 years.
When was the last time the Cowboys put together a bad deal?
Why are you so suspect?

I'm giving you the discount of the guaranteed money
That’s all that’s guaranteed on the contract, so that’s what we were betting. Need my address to start sending the checks?

Nick has it up on Cowboys.com
The Cowboys might not be finished either, as a deal with running back Marion Barber could get finalized as well.
Key word is COULD
Dude. . .you gotta let it go
We aren’t cap strapped by the Newman deal.

I think everyone
knows we rushed resigning Williams to a new contract. that’s no secret and now were paying for it because we can’t dump him.
In all, Jerry has given out excellent contracts, but Williams was clearly bad. How can anyone argue that.
That being said. . .
You’re missing the point of the question – why are you so suspect?

How many pro-bowls has he gone to since signing?
I realize that those are popularity contests and that RW hasn’t been the same the past few years – but he hasn’t limited the team in a way that puts us with dead weight/money as we were doing in the mid-nineties.

Don't even go there with Pro Bowls...
the voting is a joke. The Pro Bowl is a joke!.
Williams didn’t deserve to go over the past two seasons and the only reason he did was because other players didn’t want to or were injured.
Ask anyone. The Pro Bowl voting is nothing but a popularity contest. You can be the 7th or 8th best player at your position and still get to the pro bowl because others don’t want to go.
I have two #31
Jerseys now I have to burn because he won’t be on this team after the season. I was a huge Williams fan at one point, but not in the past 2 years.
So you are admitting that your concern around his contract. . .
Is personal as it affects your wardrobe? LOL

If he is a June 1st cut
or cut next year, yes there will be DEAD money to pay out the remainder of his contract.
When your play has deteriorated to the point where he has to be taken out on 3rd downs then you have to say he is not worth his contract.
He is handicapping this team financially and on the field right now at this point in his career.
Capologist and talent evaluator. . .
I stand corrected and tired of attempting to hold the mirror up for you to look into. . .I’m off to play poker with players that wont’ welch on their bets. ;)

Debate the football but don't attack the person.
Just because your opinions differ does not mean it has to get personal.

I wasn't being personal. . .
Nor was I attacking BoyzFan’s person. . .merely his steadfast opinion that we are strapped against the cap.
Boyz – we cool?

No biggie

told ya Boyzfan
that deal was going to get done without a doubt, no way we let a premier cover CB like Newman hit the open market. Considering what other top CBs signed, we got him pretty cheap.
Jerry and Stephen should be applauded to get this done, great job! Now lets get MB3 done.
In Romo we Trust
The only reason this deal got done
is because MB3 didn’t take the offer given to him. No way this happens otherwise, unless Newman would’ve received the first contract offer.
I really doubt we have the cap space to extend both Newman and MB3’s contract this season. It’s likely that neither MB3 or Hamlin will get a new contracts until after the season now. One or both are likely gone because of this.
Man you just don't like to admit you were wrong
Quit making excuses as to why this deal happened. The reason is, Newman is a top corner in his prime, you don’t let a guy like him walk. It’s that simple.
Barber will still get a deal before the end of the season.

no problem with it
I was wrong that he would get a new deal this year. No question about it. I also thought he would want around 60 mil and if that was the case he wouldn’t be here. I’m sure it started in that range and worked it’s way down. I still think the only reason this was done is because MB3 turned down his contract offer and Hamlin is playing hard ball. Newman was clearly third on the list because there was no discussion until after.
Or maybe it was that Newman was under contract for another year
And Hamlin, MB3 and Canty were all FAs of one type or another. . .hmmmmm.

HA! MB3 just signed a larger contract
you better quit right now boyz because you’re looking more and more foolish as each FA gets signed, LOL!
In Romo we Trust
I'll be really inmpressed if we get Hamlin under contract
You know what, great for Steven and Jerry. I would like to see Hamlin get locked up next. Should be interesting. I’m glad it worked out for those players..
So does anyone have a link to a page that would tell me the way our salary cap money has been spent?
I thought we were pretty close to the 2008 limit after signing the rookies, but I might be mistaken.
How Bout Them Cowboys!
Heh...good luck on that.
In my time writing here, I have searched high and low for a good source regarding the salary cap. It varies depending on the news source too.
by Brandon Worley on May 20, 2008 2:38 PM CDT up reply actions
I think we were around 4-5 mil under the cap
after Fasano and Aydoyele were traded. We gained an extra 1-2 mil on the cap by trading them I think.
Can someone give the basics on the CAP?
I read similar things, that we had about 4-5 mil under the cap. Newman’s contract extension begins in ‘09, correct? So no implication as to this year’s cap. How can we sign a guy for 10 mil / year and not get crushed w/ the cap?
Tar Heels football will surprise this year
You'd have to ask Stephen to be sure
But I’m pretty sure that they’re only going to be taking a cap hit of 3-4 million for Newman; most of that money will come in the form of a bigass bonus which won’t hamstring our situation.
I'm confused on this like everyone else
But I think Ayodele was a cap wash – cap penalty of trading him was equal to the value of his contract. Not sure on Fasano. I wish someone had a salary cap machine like ESPN does for the NBA, but it would probably be way too complicated.
In fact, on second thought, I’m sure such a program exists, and NFL front offices must use it. I wish I could play with it. I’m as surprised as anyone that both Newman and MB3 got extended today. If Jerry and Stephen can keep Canty and Hamlin to boot, I will be in awe (considering I didn’t expect them to be able to keep Flozell either).
I think we just blew the rest of our space on Newman
and the tenders on MB3 and Hamlin when they sign.
But I bet Henry could get traded half way through training camp
if they like what they see from Pac-Man and the rest.
not sure about that one, but
could get some reps at safety. This could be Henry’s last season if they don’t plan on moving him to safety full time.
great....
love it love it love it.
we’ve got a good chunk of our core locked up for a very long time.
