Iowa QB signs $59.65 million deal

March 20, 2009

Iowa City, IA (Ticker) – Iowa Barnstormers GM Grid Iron announced today that the team has reached a deal with its starting quarterback Roman Roberts. Roberts, an unrestricted free agent, signed a four-year $59.65 million pact yesterday. “Our primary goal is, of course, to win a championship and re-signing Roman is the first step,” said Iron.

Despite coming off a season in which he started only eight games due to a broken jaw, Roberts landed the biggest contract in this year’s free agency period. The deal also included a $12.5 million bonus.

The first overall pick in the 2003 draft out of Temple, Roberts has averaged 2,847 passing yards and 289 rushing yards per season. He has also scored 117 touchdowns (100 pass, 17 rush) while throwing only 52 interceptions, and was named All-League Second Team in 2006 and 2007.
