Cowboys Spending Big to Keep Key Players
The Dallas Cowboys are doing some big-time spending to keep their key players in the fold.
The three-year, $27 million deal to which wide receiver Terrell Owens has agreed means that, since May 20, the Cowboys have handed out $122 million-worth of contract extensions to tailback Marion Barber, cornerback Terence Newman and Owens.
The deals include $51.5 million in guaranteed money.
Barber got a seven-year, $45 million extension that includes $16 million in guaranteed money. Newman received a six-year, $50 million deal that includes $22.5 million guaranteed.
Owens's agreement includes $13 million in guaranteed money.

Fantastic. So when the Cowgirls either make the playoffs and lose their first game or don't make the second season at all, these signings will make all kinds of sense.
