That is exactly what is going on if people are being honest with themselves. To think Jones hangs onto him to pull of a Bradford-style trade, well, they truly forget how much Romo is like an adopted child.
Totally agree. And I would go as far as to say fans aren't being honest with themselves on two fronts -- with the other being the actual worth of Romo.
Romo is a top-shelf QB when healthy, but he hasn't started a game since Thanksgiving 2015. He'll be 37 next month. He's been bothered by injuries.
These are things franchises take into consideration when looking to move picks.
I think the writing is on the wall that Romo will be a highly sought after free agent for "contending" teams in need of a QB. I think the writing is also on the wall that teams have little interest to move draft picks to get him.
In my view, only time will change that. We need a sense of urgency to sink in -- something along the landscape to change that creates some panic.
Maybe that's an injury. Maybe it's Cutler signing somewhere else, eliminating one of the few "starting" options. Maybe it's Garapolo being dealt to Cleveland. Who knows.
But again, are going to have the patience to wait this thing out? Unlikely, in my mind.
