Does Jeremiah know what he's talking about? Claims Romo or Garappolo headed to Bears

[jrumann59]

Just pay the team back the $5 million you owe on your way out the door!

He could leak it to the press that he would retire. Prior to any deal. All parties concerned would do their homework and romo will end up where he wants either by trade or by release.

 

[KJJ]

But that's not what you actually said, is it?



You said "Jerry won't" , and now it's "no way the Texans would". And yet you accuse other people or "arguing for the sake of arguing"? You're all over the place here, like a fish flopping around out of water. No rhyme, reason, or point to argue, just the desire to try to do so. Again, check yourself.

Jerry won't and no way the Texans will, not for a 2nd and a 3rd like Sydia mentioned.

Jerry isn't going to make a "deal" that might come back on the team. If SF would have released Charles Haley in 92 and not traded him to Dallas, what eventually happened would have been a lot easier for SF to deal with and Carmen Policy said the very same thing in an interview years ago. It was the fact he made a "deal" to send Haley to Dallas that bothered him. If you release a player and they work out a deal with another team, that's a lot easier to live with than making a deal for them that sends them to a particular team.

So let me get this straight. You think it's better for the Cowboys due to PR reasons to let Romo sign a FA contract there then to actually get something in return for him?

PR versus the chance to get draft picks, and PR is better?

 

[Sydla]

Again, it's absolutely insanity to suggest one can't trade Romo to the Texans for fear they might win the SB but that it's far better for the Cowboys if you just cut him and he signs a contract with the Texans and they win a SB.

I am completely and utterly stupefied.

 

[KJJ]

Show us where Carmen Policy said that it would have been a wiser move to cut Haley for nothing and let him sign with whoever he wanted. Show us that part of this equation.

It was during a TV interview. He would have rather have cut him because Haley could have ended up somewhere other than the Cowboys but they cut a deal with the Cowboys and that deal put the Cowboys over the top. That trade swung everything in the Cowboys favor which led to them beating SF in back to back title games and going on to win 3 SB's.

It's not good for marketing the Cowboys to have the other team in Texas reach the SB with your former starting QB who has a large fanbase because you worked out a deal to trade him there. Jerry isn't going to send him to Houston for a slap in the face draft pick, it would have to be for what you mentioned a 2nd this year and a 3rd next year which isn't going to happen for all the reasons I mentioned.

You completely and utterly overrate the marketing angle here. The Cowboys haven't competed for a SB in over 20 years and they still are one of the top selling and most recognized franchises in the NFL and the world. Their franchise is one of the most valuable in all of sports.

So no offense, but this is a total miss on your part. The Texans winning the SB will have little effect on the Cowboys and whether they did so with Romo being a FA or trade acquisition won't matter either.

Come on, dude. Holy poop with this stuff.

The Cowboys are the #1 team in Texas and to trade your former starting QB who's one of the most popular players on your team to Houston and have him lead the Texans to the SB, wouldn't be good marketing for the Cowboys. Granted, if we could get a #2 this year and a #3 next year like you came up with, I couldn't see Jerry passing that up but it's not going to happen because that's too big an investment for a 37 year old QB that has injury concerns. The Texans would then have to take on Romo's contract along with paying Osweiler $16M. I think Jerry and everyone else could live with the Texans reaching the SB (unless it's against us) with Romo if we were heavily compensated for trading him but Jerry certainly isn't going to trade Romo to Houston for some measly 4th or 5th round pick and have that come back on him.

Stop. Please stop.

The Cowboys could stick it to Romo every bit as much as he could try to stick it to them. That's the point.

I don't expect it to come to that from anyone, but if things were to get nasty, Romo isn't the only one that can stick it to someone. The team can stick it right back to him if they chose to, or if any of this "retirement" talk started up.

The team could hold his rights as long as they chose to. Threaten to retire all you want. And pay $5 million to walk away from $60 million in potential future earnings.

 

[Stash]

So now you introduce qualifiers?

Just give it up. You've made zero sense since you started and you only dig the hole deeper.

So, you have no proof of anything you're claiming then? As expected.

Come on, dude. Holy poop with this stuff.

The Cowboys haven't done anything but win 3 playoff games the past 21 years. Houston got their first win as an expansion team against the Cowboys and have made the playoffs the past 2 seasons, something the Cowboys haven't done since 06 and 07. Romo is one of the most popular players on the team and there's some Romo FANS who are bigger FANS of him than they are of the team. Some of his FANS will go with him to Houston if he ends up there. Trading Romo to Houston for an average draft pick would be a slap in our face. I understand releasing him is just giving him away but we have a dilemma. He makes too much money to be a backup QB and if we trade or release him we can have more more money under the cap that could help us sign players.

He's just rambling. Grasping at one pathetic straw after another. Twisting and contorting and desperately trying to change an argument he lost as soon as he started.

It's not going to be good for the Cowboys to have one of their most popular players leading the other team in Texas to the SB. If Romo ends up in Houston on his own, fine but I'm not going to arrange a deal for him to play there UNLESS I'm heavily compensated.

Thank you......... more and more fans are realizing that waiving Romo for nostalgia sake is moronic

12 or more teams are jockeying for his services but he has no trade value...that makes no sense

Dallas won't trade him to a contender but will release him to sign with same contenders...what???

Romo instantly makes a playoff team a contender and a struggling team into a playoff team but we should give him away to help those teams improve at our expense....c'mon man

 

[KJJ]

No, there's plenty of "dumb" in every one of your posts already. But you keep squirming.

If you try and turn this thread sideways, your posts will be reported. Now get back to class!

Nobody asked you. And that's not what you tried to do either. You swore up and down that Jerry Jones won't do it. And how the team would release him (and watch him go to Houston anyway) and "oh well".

Jerry won't trade him to Houston because that would be making a deal with Houston that could comeback on Jerry if Romo were to lead the Texans to the SB. Jerry doesn't want the Texans being the king of Texas. If Romo is released and ends up in Houston, it's "oh well" because nothing can be done about that it's not like Jerry arranged it via a trade for Romo to be there. If a trade isn't worked out for Romo, he'll be released and will be free to sign with whatever team wants him. If it happens to be the Texans nothing Jerry can do about because Romo can't be kept for several reasons.

It would not be a slap in our face. What would be a slap in our face is letting Romo walk FOR NOTHING and have him walk to the Texans and win.

My god man, are you this insane in real life?

It will have no effect whatsoever on the Cowboys.

Actually, if that third round pick turned into a good player, it would have a positive effect on the Cowboys.
