Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has informed quarterback Tony Romo that the team has interest in signing him to an extension and, in fact, some preliminary dialogue has taken place, a source said.

The Cowboys are motivated to sign Romo because the player's salary-cap charge doubles from $8 million this season to $16 million next season, the source said. Romo's contract expires following the 2013 season.

The 32-year-old Romo, though, has not shown a great sense of urgency to sign as he believes he is leading a strong Dallas team that is capable of winning beyond the regular season and enhancing his leverage when negotiations turn more serious.

Asked about his contract situation on Thursday, Romo said, "I haven't even thought about it."

Information from ESPNDallas.com's Todd Archer was included in this report.
