Big Contracts For Even Bigger Players

The Dallas Cowboys gave longterm contracts today to two of the most important players on this young football team.

Both Marion Barber and Terence Newman are Cowboys for a long, long time.

Newman gets a six-year, $50.2 million contract. Barber signed a seven-year, $45 million contract that includes $16 million guaranteed.

The Cowboys coaches expressed concern this week about Barber’s absence from work outs with the team. That hopefully will end now that he has a new contract. Newman hasn’t made much noise, but his new contract proves that he is a key figure to the success of this team.

I think this is news to celebrate, so let’s get it on!
