This is about as fair a deal for both parties as I've seen from a young strong leader player. The Cowboys rewarded him paying him on par with other strong linebackers in the league like Pat Willis, Navorro Bowman in San Francisco. Heads up to Brian Cushing fans in Houston, his leverage just went up as rookie deal expires after this season. But the playing incentives help protect the team from the injury concerns that still hang over Lee.
