Elway and the Texans in a sword fight for the ages

[LittleD]

Houston may give up a 1st for Romo if Jax is offering a 2nd. It all depends on the market price which is whatever current offer Jerry gets.

Not ever going to happen. Be reasonable...no team is going to offer that for someone like Romo who can't stay healthy.

Where are posts like this stemming from? Right now it seems nobody is even offering an expired bag of Cheetos for Tony in trade, yet folks are throwing around hypothetical 1st and 2nd round picks. lol

I hope Tony is able to be traded rather than just released, too, but lets be logical here.

Using Houstonian favorite fat man John McClain to run a bad information is just so......Houston. This is why that armpit is shunned by the rest of the great state of Texas.

Nevertheless, this is an interesting stare down going on between Denver, Houston, and the Cowboys.

It's as if both Denver and Houston feel like they're in the catbird seat here, so they can just wait this out. Obviously, both can't be. Or, perhaps Denver is more comfortable with their current QB situation and is just willing to let it play out.

Houston has to feel like they are Romo's preference, or they wouldn't be twiddling their thumbs here. Tom Savage is a bucket of puke, and they're too good to waste a season with his incompetence at the helm.

What Jerry needs to be doing is selling Romo on the idea of Jacksonville. Get them in the fray, and stuff will start to happen.

I suspect both Houston and Denver have told Romo not to sign anything without calling them first. But that's when they thought he was going to be released outright. Perhaps they made a gentlemen's agreement not to offer Jerry anything and just go mano-a-mano in a contract offer battle after the eventual release.

That's why this thing needs a third player bad. Jacksonville, Kansas City, Buffalo, somebody.

The draft is coming, as are minicamps and OTAs, etc. Romo needs to be in his new place by then for his sake and his new team's. A post-June 1st signing isn't ideal for the team that gets him. Having Romo or not affects draft decisions, offensive gameplanning, and other free agency decisions.

Jerry still holds a pretty good hand here, but I think this is going to take weeks. And that's just fine.

Dallas isn't sweating. This isn't that impactful for the Cowboys next season no matter how long they wait. It's Houston that is in a pinch, and Denver to a lesser extent. Bill O'Brien's job might be on the line, and I'm sure he's fed up with the crap he's being fed at quarterback.

O'Brien LOVES Tony Romo's game. I've heard him say it. I'd bet he's f-bombing those facilities in constant rapid fire. He's going to implode if he has to play Tom **** Savage next season. Might as well run the Wishbone.

Just wait them out. The Cowboys have 80 days worth of patience. Do they?

I freaking love how our front office shifted gear on the fly. LOVE IT!

HOUSTON DENVER CAGE MATCH!

LRTS GET IT ON!

Sam Bradford says hello from Minnesota. You and everyone else never thought the Eagles would trade an expired bag of Cheetos for Bradford

One of them would enter, then jump out of the ring. Count out. Boos from the crowd. No epic matchup.

Jax being interested is poppycock.

And here comes the non-applicable Sam Bradford trade argument again.

The Bradford trade continuously getting brought up is just as bad. It's been covered to death that it's apples to oranges, and one horrible trade doesn't equal another team willing to shell out the same amount.

So wait, this is like Sam Bradford's situation?

Funny, I don't remember anyone from Philadelphia saying they were going to do what's right by Sam, nor did they have a cap crunch that made it pretty necessary they get him off the books.

That was an opportunity trade. They had every intention of going into the season with him in front of Wentz, then Spielman called in a panic.

It is insane how far people will go to simply ignore reality and shape the narrative to whatever comes out best in our favor.

I'm guessing Coughlin has seen enough of Blake Bortles already.

That was after Minnesota lost their QB two weeks before the start of the season. No way is any team that desperate right now.

So where is the proof Jax will be a pursuer of Romo?

I mean actual facts, not your opinion of what Coughlin decided this morning over his Wheaties.

And? I can sit and wait for a phone call to come. It will. I am in no hurry.

It may come. But even if it comes, the notion that it's a person dangling a 1st round pick is pie in the sky thinking.

At this point, if Houston calls the Cowboys in an hour and offers a 3rd rounder for him, the Cowboys shouldn't think too long about taking it.

What is this a court of law? What do 'guessing' mean?

Well guessing usually involves a bit of reasoning behind the guess.

Claiming Houston might give up a 1 if Jax gives up a 2 is a bizarre statement because there is no evidence or even rumors that Jax has any interest in Romo.

At this point, why not guess that a bunch of other teams might have interest too?

 

[erod]

Nix Jacksonville... They have a young guy. Tyrod Taylor was retained by the Bills so I can't see that. Smith is still in KC and we've heard overtones they are not interested in Romo.

The Jets seem to be in rebuild mode.

The Browns likewise.

Not sure who's left.

They've about given up on Bortles.

 

[Sydla]

But ninja, for the sake of this, let's pray to God you are right and Jacksonville sweeps in out of nowhere to enter the Romo sweepstakes.

But it proves that longshots do come in occasionally. The odds are against anything more than say, a 3rd round pick, but desperate teams do desperate things. The Bradford trade is proof of that.
