Cashing-In: DeMarcus Ware Signs 6-Year Extension for $78 Million

The Dallas Cowboys signed Pro Bowl linebacker DeMarcus Ware to a 6-year contract extension which will keep him in a Cowboys uniform through the 2015 season.  The deal is worth $78 million with $40 million guaranteed.  Ware receives $20 million immediately in a signing bonus and another $14 million within the next 12 months.  That's a total of $34 million in the first year of the deal.  The first 3 years are worth $45 million.  The extension is one of the richest for a defensive player in league history.

"It's just awesome to have this opportunity," Ware said during the press conference to announce the new contract.  "I feel like I've worked really hard and am deserving of what they've given me...It's sort of like a dream.  When you're younger and you're playing video games, you see the Emmitt Smith's and you see the Michael Irvin's playing in the game.  Now you feel part of that tradition.  A tradition of winning.  A tradition of good Texas football is what I would say."
