David Garrard envisions Tony Romo's six-year, $67.5 million contract to be a "logical reference point" for his own extension with the Jags. "It's got to be in that ballpark," Garrard's agent said. "We're not going all the way back to Matt Schaub." Schaub got a six-year, $48 million deal. While Garrard doesn't have a ton of tread on his tires, he's already 30. His style of play also makes him more susceptible to injury than Schaub or Romo. Source: Florida Times Union
His play last year was a lot closer to Romo than Schaub last year, so it seems fair to me. Jacksonville are a team ready to win now, so they should just pay him and be successful.
