Does Tony pick his new team and play for vet minimum?

[65fastback2plus2]

Potentially play for the vet minimum or something considerably low for his talent?

I could see a cheaper contract and him going all in on just getting a ring(s) and not capping out his new team.

Depends on tne setup.

A real Super Bowl contender? Hell take way less than otherwise

 

[reddyuta]

anything is possible ,if he wants to go to a contender then he might have to take a paycut.

I was just reading about Tony and possible Broncos but that they already have a good plan for their money and using a ton of it for their defense.

Yeah. I just dont see him there.
Its really a tough situation for Tony.

No idea where he'll end up

 

[Reverend Conehead]

I think Tony will end up in KC.

 

[lukin2006]

A well-run organisation trade's Romo for the absolute most in return...this is a business, did Romo refund the 40 or so million he's been paid the last 2 years to sit on the sideline injured...NO! Get the best value for him...

Doubt it. Smith is on the books for near 26 million over the next two years

Yep. But that's not happening. Jerry won't want to insult him so I'm sure we will relaease him and we won't get squat in return for a stud player. Just like Ware.

This is likely the most likely

And that's why I don't see this team competing anymore for SB's...

 

[Cowboyz88]

…a whole lot of posters on this board follow him to his new team, forever?!?!?!?

 

[Redball Express]

Yeah. I just dont see him there.

So are we assuming we trade him?

If so..only a team with cap space is even possible.

If we have to take the contract hit..

I say we keep him another year and let him backup.

I don't see the team taking a big hit on this.

If he doesn't want to play here..Let him not report to camp or retire.

 

[visionary]

Only a complete idiot would cut or trade a franchise QB for next to nothing








Oh wait, our owner is Jerry
I guess that is exactly what will happen and everyone will say what a good guy Jerry is

 

[Ranching]

Jerry might look like an idiot, but he is not. I don't think he sends him To a SB contender for nothing. We are trying to win SB's, why help someone else do it. Imagine if he trades or lets him walk to Denver or Houston and they beat us next year. He will never live that down. He'll talk him into retiring a Cowboy.

He will always the the cowboys all-time leading passer to me.

 

[Cowboyz88]

Oh, I know. The whole world knows.

You've had Staubach and Aikman, yet Romo is your QB.

You take the "all-time leading passer" and I'll take the rings.

We were obviously talking about active quarterbacks...But ya...Keep talking from left field, totally shows you have credibility lol

 

[whynot]

Romo for J.J. Watt, straight trade.

 

[85Cowboy85]

We don't know if Tony has a no trade clause or not, it's possible that he does. Not only that but the whole world knows we are going to be starting Prescott at this point. Not economically viable that we pay Tony 19.5 million in base salary to be a backup.

We may very well get nothing but cap space, but that's the cost of giving up all your leverage.

Had we started Romo when he came back from injury we would be in a better negotiating position, but we also would not know as much about Prescott.

I was initially hopeful that we would be able to get some significant assets back, but at this point I think we would be lucky to get a mid round pick.
