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

[Deep_Freeze]

'Hey John, they say they are releasing him'

'They are pretty dumb aren't they"

 

[Sydla]

Which would seem to imply more than just Houston and Denver as possible landing spots. So this idea that the trade market for Romo was just two teams is likely bogus.

I think it's pretty obvious Jerry got outplayed by other teams.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Explained in a nutshell. Nothing about no market. Just that the two teams Romo wants weren't willing to trade for him.

Yea and those two teams werent willing to trade for him bc the idiot GM let it be known that he would be released.

Why would either team trade for him knowing we would foolishly release him

 

[T-RO]

None of this is hard to understand at all.

If Romo had a contract of $8 million, for example, we would have trading partners for sure.

The combination of age, injury risk and contract make a trade unappealing to most teams. $14 mil base...escalating to $19 mil and $20 mil in '18 and '19...are just too stiff a price.

What's hard to understand is why more fans here don't--or can't accept these obvious facts.

We've had a lot of posters living in fantasy-land about trade value.

Denver will probably unload Simien and get a least a pick.

no doubt.

He is very young, cost nothing cap-wise, and could go to any team. If they decided to get rid of him, they'd get a lil something for sure.

Watch them get a first round pick for him.

I guess I'm in the 2% minority that is happy that Jerry will be treating Romo like a respected member of the organization he has had to carry on his busted back with no help for years.

Nobody takes him seriously. He is a walking talking joke.

What is more insulting is that he spent the last few weeks saying "no rush" and "we could possibly keep him", conning the brainless into thinking he actually isn't completely outclassed when dealing with the other 31 clubs.

So we are getting 5.1 mil in cap relief and we're going to use this to sign who? mccown (his last contract was 3 yr 14 mil with cle)? i'd rather wait and call other team's bluffs. we aren't going to be doing anything major with the relief we get anyway because the majority of it will come post june 1.

 

[DFWJC]

Just because we sit at our laptops and say Tony (with his age, injuries, salary, and limited team pool) will get us something big in a trade, does not make it so.

 

[MRV52]

You are about the fourth or fifth person to post this exact thought.

There is no more "IF". It's over.

We win the prize for idiocy.

Too bad so sad. QB's don't grow on tree's, and Romo I say this with hesitation if he can remain healthy will light it up.

His contract likely would have been restructured (like how Murray's was restructured when he was traded to Tennessee by Philly last year), so continually spitting the $19MM and $20MM number is likely bogus. Further, a team taking him on even at that contract, can cut him and save like $15MM against the cap next year. So they won't be crushed by his contract, even if the odd circumstance that they didn't restructure him.

Jones mishandled this. It's pretty much that simple.

8.9 in 2017 if post June 1
Plus, cap help can be used on your own guys too.

We aren't trading him to SF out of respect. I'm sure 12 teams would be interested if we just didn't care. Romo wants Houston or Denver and they know we're not going to trade him to a cheap team out of respect. Is it the right thing to do for the cowboys ? No. But it's the right thing to do for Romo.

Wrong. Niners?!

Romo makes no sense for a rebuilding team, not for the team, and not for Tony, who can simply retire is he doesn't like the destination.

 

[Jarv]

I have a headache!

 

[Nirvana]

On the bright side, at least we aren't stuck with Paxton Lynch, who obviously isn't considered the answer in Denver - 1st round pick!

This logic has me rolling on the floor.

So Jerry should show more loyalty to Romo than to his team?

If you are making him a June 1 cap hit anyway, why the rush to cut him tomorrow?

He obviously isn't ready. Doesn't mean he won't be.

This is a one or two year rental for Denver if they get Romo, not an indictment on Lynch.
