Spencer Signs $9 Million Deal

Cowboys first round pick, Anthony Spencer, signed a 5-year, $9 million contract today. The deal includes $6 million worth of gauranteed money.

He is expected to play outside linebacker opposite Demarcus Ware. With starting strongside linebacker Greg Ellis missing practice with a sore Achilles, Spencer should work with the first team. Although he is not currently in San Antonio, Cowboys officials are optimistic that he will be at practice this afternoon.

OT James Marten has still not agreed on a deal and remains the sole holdout

5 years, 9 million is a steal for the Cowboys.

I haven't compared it to other deals, but it did sound low...

It sounds like the LJ deal from 2003, IIRC.

Five years at "eh" pay, with the ability to option out of it three or four years later.
