The Cowboys have been discussing a potential extension for Quinnen from a public perspective since the beginning of training camp. On the team’s first off day following two padded practices, and on the even of their scrimmage against the Los Angeles Rams, this news came in without any warning.

It was noted by reports that this deal includes the most guaranteed money ever, $101M, for a defensive tackle. Quinnen is obviously worth it and the Cowboys believed that well before today as they struck a massive deal to trade for him before last year’s deadline in the first place.

Now he isn’t going anywhere.

Most guarantees at signing for a DT in NFL history.

Plus: 🏈3-year extension
105.9 million in new money (35.3M APY)
🏈$101M total guaranteed
🏈$63.35M fully guaranteed at signing https://t.co/PSTXX4ndsS
