The AP and Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com report that the Cowboys have signed safety Roy Williams to a contract extension.  Glazer reports that the deal contains $24 million in new money and more than $11 million in bonus money. 

The new contract is a four-year deal, which will be added to the final remaining season on Williams' rookie contract. 

In addition to the information reported by the AP and FOXSports.com, we've learned that the signing bonus is $11.1 million, the highest ever paid to a safety. 

Also, we're told that Williams will earn $16 million over the first three years of the deal.  Ed Reed of the Ravens will earn $16.75 million over three years.

Over four years, Williams get $20.4 million.  Reed will receive $20.385 million. 

The key here is that Reed is tied up for seven years, while Williams will be on the market in 2011.  Also, there's no state income tax in Texas, so Williams will take home a greater chunk of change.

The total value of the five-year deal is $25.2 million.

From PFT.  Note the shorter length of the deal, and the lack of state income tax in TX.  Assuming Florio's right, Williams is getting more, and keeping way more.

As for Lewis, maybe he ought to perform like Ed Reed before he starts asking for Ed Reed money.
