Twitter: Barring a Strong Trade offer, Romo rumored to be released tomorrow

[Wolf2k5]

hey member, we don't get to use any cap space with a a June 1st cut until June 2nd when the shelves are bare

but I wouldn't expect a moron to understand complex topics

Uh oh. Getting chippy in here already lol

Takes two sides to make a trade

I think this is what some folks are missing, I don't remember hearing of any credible trade offers for Romo.

Barring a strong trade offer?........how about Barring a trade offer period. I don't care if it's some depth on the team somewhere and a 7th rounder get something.

Only way I'm all for cutting Romo without compensation is if we save more money on the cap to get a.........WAR DADDY HAHA

They are trading the contract too. Plus, if you assume a contract will be redone, Romo would absolutely have to agree to it with the new team.

Then there is just the basic question "is a 6th or 7th rounder really worth more than 8.9 mill extra in 2017 cap space > June 1?"

Is this Jerry or Stephen? At least Jerry has some good trades on his resume. What does Stephen have? He gets played every time we swap picks in the draft. He's supposed to be this great negotiator but everytime I see him on the draft cam, he's biting his nails and sweating like a pig.

what trades?

You know you have to hand it to Jerry Jones.

Just when you think he has reached his pinnacle of idiocy, he finds a way to top it.

What an icon. Hall of Famer.

I mean I might get doing it now if the front office had a FA on the line they were ready to plow the money into. Like if they were going to eat the full cap hit this year and use the $5.1MM saved immediately to sign, say Peppers............

But they aren't. They are sitting out the first week of free agency waiting for bargains and will likely use him a June 1 cap hit. So what's the point of cutting him now?

exactly....

Just goes to show....they Don't have a plan

But don't worry...Josh McCown will bail everyone one out. It doesn't even sound right does it?

 

[erod]

We're about to cut, when healthy, the best player on this team by far.

Sad day.

 

[LittleD]

Don't know about that.

I bet there are a few in Cowboys Nation who literally have snot running down their noses right now, in a state of disbelief that not only is the Romo era over, it went out with a pathetic whimper.

I still wouldn't put it past Jerry Jones to have a news conference with Romo where he explains why he was released and gives him a great big hug.

I guarantee it's more than hugs... I think slobbering kisses are the order of the day. Romo will be able to come back to the Cowboy family
at any point in his life and have a permanent position. Jerry want's him on the ROH wall.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Good Lord people, we can't trade Tony because no team is willing to pick up his current contract. They're just going to wait until he's released and then negotiate their own contract with him.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Well..just like with my kids, it's best to just rip the band-aid off quickly rather pretending the problem will go away.

Because there have been none out there. Maybe something small that Jerry just threw away, but nothing in the news or even in rumor.

I think this is what some folks are missing, I don't remember hearing of any credible trade offers for Romo.

Some people are under an illusion that teams are tripping over themselves to throw away draft picks for a 37-year-old broken QB.

[Risen Star]

I have to focus on Jerry's age to calm down.

 

[Nightman]

Uh oh. Getting chippy in here already lol

got a history with him

he is a stalker

 

[gimmesix]

What's a "strong" trade offer? If we're just going to release him, then take any trade offer.

Jerry in the Hall of Fame is like inserting a banjo in a Mozart masterpiece.

Right, if the money saved is way too good to pass up then cutting him is fine in my opinion

 

[Sydla]

Yeah, as I said yesterday, if they cut him and Jerry publicly states they cut him out of respect for the player and wanted to give such a great Cowboy the ability to finish his career on his terms, I am going to lose my stuff.
