Via NY Post:
On Friday, The Post reported that Romo’s contract was for “around $17 million per season” and “significantly more than five years.”
Romo’s salary is $17.5 million, but factoring in all the perks, it is worth $18 million a year, according to sources.
Romo is receiving a contract that is 18 times more than his rookie TV deal of three years for around $10 million, which McManus and Berson gave him when they showed the foresight to hire him off the field in 2017.
If CBS keeps the NFL for the next decade, Romo’s broadcast earnings of $190 million between his first two contracts will far surpass the $127 million, according to Spotrac, he earned during his 14 seasons as the Cowboys’ quarterback.
Romo’s average of $18 million per year is higher than the average salary of the NFL’s 32 starting quarterbacks this past season, which comes in at $16.3 million.
Romo retired at just the right time.
He put in the work, showed he had skills, and then got paid.
Plus he has no pressure to win anymore.
