The Facts: Garrard has signed a contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Terms of Monday’s deal were not released. But Garrard and his agent, Albert Irby, had been looking for something similar to the six-year, $67.5 million contract Dallas QB Tony Romo signed last season.
Diehards Line:According to SportsLine.com's Pete Prisco, Garrard's deal is worth closer to $60 million and includes $9 million in signing bonus money and $20 million in guaranteed money. That is under Romo's $28.5 million in guaranteed money. ... Garrard is coming off his best season. He completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,509 yards and 18 touchdowns despite missing three games because of an ankle injury. He threw just three interceptions and finished with the NFL’s third-highest passer rating (102.2).
