(Photo: Matthew Emmons, USA TODAY Sports) Tony Romo's security as the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback is now etched in money. The team and Romo struck a six-year, $108 million extension Friday, with $55 million guaranteed. His signing bonus is worth $25 million. That answers any questions of whether the team would stick behind its much-scrutinized quarterback. "Absolutely, we feel that we can win a championship with Tony," Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones told USA TODAY Sports, while also confirming details of the new contract, which takes effect in 2014. "We wouldn't be doing all of this if we didn't think we could win with him." FREE AGENTS: Best 25 still unsigned MOCK DRAFT 3.0: Who might fall to Dallas? Romo, 32, heads into his 11th NFL season as one of the NFL's most productive quarterbacks but is lacking one particular statistic: playoff wins. He's produced just one. "It's not all on Tony's shoulders," Jones said. "He has to do his part, but the team around him as to play better, and we also have to coach better." Jones, who completed the new pact over several weeks of talks with a team of agents led by R.J. Gonser, said he never worried that the deal would not have been completed — which could have allowed Romo to become a free agent next year. At least one member of the quarterbacking fraternity was taken aback by Romo's windfall. Donovan McNabb sent a tweet revealing his shock at the money his former NFC East counterpart is now making.
