The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a six-year contract extension with starting OLB DeMarcus Ware, FoxSports.com's Jay Glazer reports.

The deal, once it's approved by the league, will be worth nearly $13 million per season according to Glazer, and will approach $40 million in guaranteed money. As noted by Scout.com last week, Ware recently turned down a similar deal, but with roughly an average of $12 million per season with nearly $40 million in guaranteed money.

Sources familiar with the negotiations told Scout.com that Ware wanted a deal that eclipsed the one Baltimore Ravens DE/OLB Terrell Suggs signed back in July.

Suggs signed a six-year deal with $38 million guaranteed. While Suggs' deal averages just over $10.4 million per season, the deal averages over $14 million in each of the first three years.

As noted previously, Ware signed a six-year deal as a rookie, but the final year will void because he met minimum playing time requirements, which was only needed in just one season.
