Cowboys should trade Romo, draft Manziel

With the always overblown Scouting Combine now done with, and even with the NFL Draft still two months away, it’s never too early to scheme and scam on behalf of our troubled local football club.

Who knows? Mr. Jerry might be actually reading this stuff. My ideas, and yours, are as good as his track record when it comes to evaluating talent.

So here’s a grand plan:

Trade Tony Romo to the Houston Texans for the first pick in the draft.

Use that pick to draft, yes, Johnny Football.

Stop it right now with your dog-cussing. You can’t bully me.

Yes then Galloway would have more crap to write about.

 

[egn22]

no

 

[DeaconMoss]

If Houston wants to trade Romo for JM. Run to the podium and make that trade. At least it will be something different. 5-11 or 11-5 are both better than 8-8.

 

[CowboyGil]

Hmmmmm.....

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Who's going to trade for Romo and his contract?


If we were going to trade Romo, we should have done it in 2012 to KC.

Any team needing a QB would. The problem is the Cowboys couldn't afford to trade that contract. They would be the ones to eat the bonus money already paid. The new team would only have to pay the per year salary.

Well, there is that little detail of a $41 million dead money hit we'd take against the cap.

Some folks will actually agree with him and their threads will follow.

 

[Tabascocat]

Romo is now untradeable due to that contract, not for other teams to acquire, but for Dallas to dump. The dead money is way too much.

The Johnny Football threads, articles, talk, all of it will be regular until he is picked. Only then will we be able to get past it.

 

[Zordon]

Galloway gets it.

Not sure why he is viewed as untradeable now after the contract. Romo is praised like Staubach on here 24/7 and his contract is lauded as "fair market" "not a burden", etc...yet now no one will take him? Ha! Romo stans can't have it both ways. Take the dead money and lets move on from these dark years under Romo. Let's bring some life back to this franchise.

My guess is that the trade would have to be Romo AND our 2nd (or even 1st) rounder.
No thanks.
But if you feel sure he'll be a star, then that price would actually be worth it. I just don't have that level of confidence right now.

It's amazing to see how broad the range of opinions are regarding Manziel. There was a fairly large write-up in the Dallas Morning News last week about an old scout who was always a Manziel fan even back in HS. This guy was the most over-the-top on the upside. He said Manziel would be Hall of Fame legend...one the greatest to ever play in the NFL. But he kind of has some skin in the game due his long-standing opinions.

Then, on the other hand, I've now heard 3 different "analysts" say they would not touch him until the 3rd round.

I just can't see him totally failing, but I have no strong opinion on how good he'll be either.
He sure is fun to watch though!

In the end, I can't recall a player that I looked forward more to seeing how things turn out at the next level.

 

[Turf Toe]

I wonder if Galloway and Jerry enjoy the same scotch. I personally prefer Oban14.

 

[Risen Star]

The Texans would never trade the 1st overall pick for Romo. Even with a cap friendly contract. He's on the wrong side of 30 with back issues.

I'm willing to take that risk...like Galloway said:

Johnny was born to play for Jerry

Hypothetical:

If Jerry eats the huge cap hit last season and lets Romo play out his final year, we miss the playoffs (like usual) and the back issues remain, what does Jerry do today?

More like Romo plus the 16 th pick or the 48th at a minimum.

"But who sez Houston would do that deal? Well, the Texans are a ready-to-win club except for ."

Are you serious??

They are. Look at their division. They are one of the best teams to ever draft #1.
