Wearing jeans and an untucked Dallas Cowboys (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=dal) golf shirt, Tony Romo (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=6624) treated Tuesday as if it was any other day of work.
Well, there were a few difference. Such as the fact he brought mom and dad to team headquarters.
And the $67.5 million contract he showed up to sign.
On one of the biggest days of his life, Romo remained the average guy he's been since joining the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent five years ago. He said he was humbled by the $11.5 million signing bonus and by cementing a spot in the lineage of Don Meredith-to-Roger Staubach-to-Troy Aikman (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=615), but he also insisted the only thing that's going to change is his tax bracket.
