The Cowboys have praised defensive lineman Sean Lissemore since the day he arrived as a seventh-round pick in 2010. They showed him how much Thursday as they signed Lissemore to a three-year contract extension that takes his contract through 2016.
Lissemore had two years left on his original deal. He will get $3.1 million in guaranteed money, including $2 million to sign, and could earn $10.92 million, including incentives, over the next five years.
His agent Wes Bridges said the Cowboys approached him about doing an extension, and Lissemore directed him to get something done. Bridges said Lissemore wanted to be in Dallas.
