#6: Marion Barber refuses to go down Week 6: New England Patriots versus Dallas Cowboys It was still close. After going down early, the Cowboys had battled back against the Patriots and were down 28-24 with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter. Following a holding penalty the Cowboys were facing 1st and 20 from the ten yard line and the play called for what seemed to be a run off...

Uh oh, that Nick Eatman guy is stirring up trouble again. He has a theory that the start of the Cowboys rise back to prominence all began back in the spring of 2003. Recently I made reference to the draft of 2005 where Dallas picked up DeMarcus Ware and Marion Barber among others as being one of the best drafts I’d seen in a while. Eatman mentions that too, but he sees some moves made in 2003 by some...

There are a lot of things Marion Barber has done in his short career with the Dallas Cowboys. He runs over opposing defenses like a warm knife rolls through butter. He scores touchdowns like I eat chips, one after one after one. He motivates the team like Randy Pausch’s last lecture captivated the world. But apparently [...]

Rosenhaus has haggled the Cowboys to sign three contracts for three of his players, most notably Marion Barber and Owens. This is what he said: “Simply put, I [...]

The Dallas Cowboys are doing some big-time spending to keep their key players in the fold. The three-year, $27 million deal to which wide receiver Terrell Owens has agreed means that, since May 20, the Cowboys have handed out $122 million-worth of contract extensions to tailback Marion Barber, cornerback Terence Newman and Owens. The deals include $51.5 million in guaranteed money. Barber got a seven-year,...

A discussion with Steven Taylor about the new “Marion Barber Rule,” a new point of emphasis against offensive players stiff-arming to the head, prompted me to note how many rules are (informally) named after Dallas Cowboys. A quick Web search found the following (Cowboys in bold): * Bert Emanuel rule — the ball [...]

While Terence Newman and Marion Barber have been getting all of the attention lately Chris Canty has quietly been working out and practicing with the team. Nick Eatman over at DC.com has a good piece about Canty's patience while waiting for his turn to sign a shiny new contract. "You hope so. I hope it's getting to me," said Canty, a restricted free agent. "It's definitely an opportunity I look forward...

Filed under: Cowboys , NFC East Yesterday the Cowboys locked up Marion Barber and Terence Newman to long-term deals . Given that the contracts total 13 years and $95 million ($38 million guaranteed), and that Newman will be 30 before the season begins and that Barber is a career backup, some people might consider the payout a little steep. In today's Dallas Morning News , Todd Archer and Albert Breer...

I was wondering how we got the cap space to get both Terence Newman and Marion Barber signed. We only had $3.5 million under the cap. Turns out it was Tony Romo to the rescue . The quarterback agreed to restructure his contract, but it didn't cost him a penny. In fact, it put some money in his pocket now instead of later. The Cowboys turned Romo's $6.5 million base salary into signing bonus, dropping...
