Can you imagine Linehan replacing Kubiak, and Romo following?

Still not sure Romo will end up in Denver, it's possible but the Broncos have slipped and Romo would be a progress stopper for their two young QBs. They gave up a lot for Paxton Lynch, you would think they would like to start giving him more opportunities.

That thought is well-taken.

Makes me wonder if there's any provision in the union agreement that would allow us to rent Tony to the Broncos for a year?

(I kid.)

Denver asked Atlanta for permission to interview Kyle Shanahan.

Makes sense on many fronts.

That's what they do in soccer.

He does appear to be the hot commodity right now, no doubt... several teams wanting to talk to him. Elway said, I believe, he has 3 or 4 names on his list he's going to explore.

I could see Kyle Shanahan in Denver and Romo loving enjoying what Matt Ryan is enjoying in that offense...and throwing to D Thomas and E Sanders...and with that defense

What about Sean Payton getting the Rams job, and going after Romo?

I am going to call it. Linny will go to Jacksonville, they will draft a QB and let Linny develop him over the next year or two.. and Romo will go to Jacksonville and be the starting QB for the next year or two. Romo will be released and he will not be traded.

His father is a legend in Denver. Elway hiring his coach's son is perfect.

Didn't know that. Straight-up, or is it some loophole thing that wasn't actually intended?
Players are put "on loan" to smaller clubs with less money if the big club doesn't have playing time for them.

Arguably so. We'll see.

Oh... so, more like how the NBA teams send players down to the D-league (?). Or, are these smaller clubs actually other competitors that the bigger clubs will on occasion play against? (Sorry, just not familiar.)

They actually send them all sorts of places, including teams in their own league sometimes.

Arsenal may be heavy in strikers, so they'll send a young stud to play at Bournemouth, which is low on money. Or, they may send him to a club in Italy or France or Turkey, and they work out a deal on how to pay his salary between the two. It's crazy.

Romo is going to compete for a starting job in Dallas next season.

Honestly, I know the pundits disagree, but I still think this is the most likely development.

It's all just so much more complicated with three different interests (Romo's, Jerry's, and there being another team ready to obtain him) having to be satisfied for him to be gone. It would be different if Jerry couldn't care less about Romo's perspective. And it would be different if Romo was a pain on the sidelines and in the locker room. And it would be different if potential other teams didn't have to be so preoccupied with his age and injury situation in light of his salary situation. Right?

Wrote this earlier in the thread:

The likelihood of either A or B is, in comparison to standing pat, pretty skinny imo.

Moreover, there is no shortage of recent lessons of breakout QBs who came back to earth. There seems some obvious wisdom in taking a tortoise-like approach to dealing with the situation. People who I otherwise respect say, "Well, you don't want to have that media controversy going on. It's a distraction."

To which I have to say... you mean, unlike this season?

C'mon. That's not a reason to be a motivated seller of a top tier QB.

So, again though... do you get the sense this is by design, or is it some loophole situation that some exploit and it just hasn't been remedied... or no one really wants to remedy it?

I mean, seriously, do you think the NFL and the union should look at it? I'm curious.
