FRISCO, Texas -- Jerry Jones has paid handsomely for some of his backup quarterbacks over the years.
Just in the past 10 years, Brad Johnson, Jon Kitna and Kyle Orton were among the highest-paid backups in the NFL. Now Tony Romo enters that group after the owner and general manager said a completely healthy Romo will backing up Dak Prescott.
“I paid a lot of money for a backup quarterback, as you well know, and this, by the way, is going to be the record for having paid this for the backup quarterback,” Jones said on 105.
