What a trade does to this team

[Stash]

True. I thought that the Vikings look at Bradford's compensation differently than other teams. They agreed to pay two picks for him, but nothing says they can't trade him or Teddy and get part of that back when Bridgewater gets back.

Bridgewater might not be back. I've read and heard reports that say his recovery may be more than just one year.

Only trade is McFadden to the packers...

Add Sanchez to the Bears now that Romo is healthy

PHI showed that you can trade guys like Wentz, Bradford, DMurray, Maxwell

HOU could trade Osweiler for example

 

[fishspill]

Could we trade Romo and 2 #1s for Von Miller?

I wish this were Madden because I'd be so happy.

 

[Sydla]

I agree that it's the single most important position, but I don't agree with any assumption that Romo would make some of these teams playoff contenders.

Many of the teams with cap room are going for the slow, methodical build and not the quick fix a Romo acquisition would be.

Like the Browns for example. People keep mentioning them when there's zero chance they'd have interest based upon the moves they have and have not made.

The flaw in his thinking is that we've had Romo. We've also had better teams than this woeful Browns team.

And how many times have we made the playoffs the last 6 years? Once.

So the notion that Romo or a franchise QB makes a bad team a playoff contender isn't based in reality IMO.

 

[Sydla]

Romo is a better QB than Bradford. He might be considered more brittle, so that is a consideration. But based on pure ability, the compensation would be higher for Romo than it was for Bradford.

It's more than a consideration. It's arguably the biggest consideration. It's also a massive mitigating factor when you try to analyze what he's worth next to say someone like Bradford.

Again, look at Carson Palmer. He got traded to Arizona, was also an older, injury type QB and the comp for him was a 6th round pick and a conditional pick. I suspect Romo's value is fairly between what Palmer was worth and what Minny gave up for Bradford.

 

[Sydla]

They will likely not get by the Patriots this year unless they make a move. We had a similar situation when we went out and got the problem child Haley to help us beat the 49ers.

I wouldn't hold my breath on Denver trading for Romo this year.

 

[Trouty]

Jets would be a major player for a Romo trade.

 

[T-RO]

Jets would be a major player for a Romo trade.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Decker is out for the year. Team is 1-5. Haven't run the ball well. Haven't been great on D.

The season is likely lost. Why reach for Romo now? He'd have to learn offense and knock off rust. Probably too late.

Not now, no way. Off season. I should have added that caveat, my bad, Ro.

Ah...got ya.

Romo isn't going anywhere for a bag of chips. If we move him, it will be for premium compensation. If not he will be the starter when he returns, most likely. So having said that if he was trades this year, (probably only to Denver as that is one of the few teams it makes sense to trade for) or maybe the Jets (they won't make the super bowl this yerar with or without him, but Ryan may trade for him to fix the problem for next year) you would probably net three very late number 1's from denver or possibly two number ones from the Jets.

You would lose the security of Romo being here. Some of you are dismissive of this, but Dak's track record isn't long. You risk teams figuring him out and slowing his roll considerably, which is a substantial risk. It is easy if you say it really fast, but that doesn't change the fact it is a real factor. You are trading your starter. Let that sink in. Jerry takes a lot of risk in making that trade, so he isn't going to just give up Romo and be a laughingstock. He will get enough compensation to do the deal so that even if Prescott fails after the trade he can reasonably say, it was a trade that was worth the risk he took, and for most reasonable minds to agree with that statement.

Having said that, on the other side of the balance sheet it would mean cheap QB play for a couple of years. Not forever. I think Dak is on only a 3 year deak. We will get one more cheap year out of him and then he will cost as much or more than Romo does now. The cap savings matter, but not as much as the draft picks would.

With the three late round #1's you could probably get a late round defensive end to bolster the defense, or a replacement for Mo, if we don't want to pay Mo, which would save a ton of money, a linebacker to add to Lee and hopefully Jaylon. Or you could pay Mo (I would if I could get it reasonably done) draft that DE, draft a linebacker with our own #1 pick, and be in pretty good shape on the defense going forward.

Or for you trade Dez junkies, you could draft defense with the acquired #1 pick, and draft a receiver with our first round pick (or vice versa) and go young all the way with our new triplets and trade Dez for a #1. Rinse and repeat that process for two more years.

With the Jets, you are getting a top 10 pick this year, most likely. and a later round pick after that.

Romo isnt going anywhere this yr period, No need toi talk about what ifs.

And im going to tell you, he isnt going to start either. Not one game, and im going to tell you why. Jerry is going to trade him in the offseason to QB desperate team, and the one that makes sense to me is the Jets. They have the established Wrs to make him fit in seamlessly. They have the running philosphy along with a good enough OL to keep him upright. Jets have Richardson and Wilkerson who they have put on the trade block. Give me one of them along with a 3rd or 2nd and Romo is all urs.

Remember this, Romo to the Jets for a pick and one of the DL

Two or three number 1s? For a 37 year old QB whod missed a lot of time, no way... That would be quite the heist. Frankly they would be lucky to get one number 2.

This I can buy. Trading Romo for another player with a big contract and maybe some mid round picks being thrown around.

That isn't how trading works in the NFL.....you don't trade big money guys for bid money guys

Teams want cap relief and/or picks

 

[links18]

Bro...walk through it.

You have a sweet truck and you want to sell it. Let's think through it's value.

1. When purchased it was the best truck on the market and it's been awesome. It's 12 years old.
2. It's broken down a few times recently and been sitting in the garage as often as its been on the road.
3. You've had it repaired. It's running good now, though there are known issues that could recur anytime.
4. The bad boy has 194,000 miles on it and the mechanic says the engine might last 10-20k more. Maybe.
5. You refinanced the loan...twice... and still owe 5,500$ on it.

Suppose in its day it was the best Ford truck ever and served you well. What is the net value of the truck?

Man, I have a few cars like that.

 

[irving]

I don't think anyone knows what the compensation would be. The Vikings gave up a 1st rounder for Sam Bradford. A never was. You just never know how desperate a team is or how delusional they are about their team.

I tend to think Dolphins could be a potential candidate. I think they think far more highly about their team than they should.

The Romo decision is a tough one. I've been of the belief that when he comes back he should get his job back. But I thought this team would just be getting by. Even if we were .500 the decision would be tough. You'd be in the position to let your young guys develop chemistry with each other.

But this team is 5-1 and these guys are acting like they have been playing together their whole careers. Like veterans. Its scary how good and how fast this all happened. And as much of a fan of Romo I am.........there's no logical reasoning for bringing him back. Just not any at all.

The Viking's gave up a number 1 for Bradford because their team is ready to win the Super Bowl this year, so for them they deemed it the right move. So I guess it's usually where a teams so called window is, as relates to what they are willing to give up for a player that they feel might put them over the top.

they were ready for a playoff run and opening a new stadium......no one had them as SB contenders

Romo gets a 2nd round pick.
What team besides the Raiders or Chicago or Cleveland wants that contract?
A fragile 37-year-old doesn't get that much market value.
