Tard Archer says yayus... espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4686716/5-wonders-crazy-games-wr-numbers-ware-sacksI wonder if the Cowboys would be interested in signing Laurent Robinson to a contract extension. The deadline to sign players and have all of the bonus money go against this year’s cap has expired, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do a deal. He has 27 catches for 441 yards and four touchdowns. He has shown to be a quick study and would give the Cowboys a nice top-three with Miles Austin and Dez Bryant for the foreseeable future. I also wonder if Robinson would want to do a deal now. This would be his first time to truly cash in. Would it be better for him to be patient and see if a team comes with a big offer in the offseason? He’s been cut a few times, so it might be more prudent for him to sign now. In 2007 the Cowboys signed Patrick Crayton to a four-year, $14 million deal with $6 million guaranteed. Does something like that sound right? |

I would do it for something comparable to what Crayton got but don't break the bank.

He's been nice, but let's see the whole season first.

I'd offer him a decent 3 year deal now and if he wants to wait then we'd wait.

That is why you got with a modest 3 yr deal. It tells him you want him here, but if he pulls an Ogletree and regresses it is easy to get out of. It also leaves him in his prime when he comes due again, so he knows he won't miss out on a big payday.
In 3 years, Austin will be 30 or 31. You would be poised to replace Austin's big money with Robinson's assuming Robinson earns the spot in that 3 years.

I'm surprised it is that close....Austin was around for a while before he broke out 2 years ago.
