I'll take this as further proof that the Carson Palmer deal is the biggest steal in the NFL. The T.J. Houshmandzadeh contract is a big steal, too.

Imagine the money they would have saved had they extended him in the off-season... or even earlier on this year instead of waiting so long. I like him though, he should be good enough not to make it look like a bad move.
Once the Texas gave an unproven QB (Schaub) a huge deal ($8M/yr), the Cowboys were going to have to pay up at some point. Jerry just waited a few games to see what the kid could do before paying up.

Tony Romo, DAL: 6 years, $67.5 Million (AAV: $11.25 Million; Signed in 2007)
Marc Bulger, STL: 6 years, $65 Million (AAV: $10.83 Million; Signed in 2007)

No wonder it stinks at the Meadowlands.
You'd think Tom Brady would be higher on that list...
Eli's growing on the Giants fans. The team is 6-2, and most of the 'experts' say that they're the best team in the NFC now (even though they lost to the Packers and Cowboys).
Pennington is a tough guy, but he's got no arm strength anymore ... and he didn't have much to begin with.
