... and if Jerry had signed Romo to a below market value (for a top 4 quarterback) contract ... do you not think Tony would be coming back to redo it after this year?

There's no harm in waiting till the offseason to sign a new contract.

Bingo!

I present Exhibit A, Greg Ellis.

Good God... What a whine-fest. :rolleyes:

Jerry will sign the guy. Jerry looks at the $$ franchise QB's are making out there and he knows he'll have to pay the guy. Fine. He'll pay him. He's been saying nothing would be better for the Cowboys than if Romo proved he was a franchise guy and really stuck it to Jerry in the wallet. Jerry knows it's coming and he's thrilled about it. Just like we are.

Romo is going to make back Jerry 10 x the money he'll get paid.

He's worth it and Jerry knows it.

Relax with all the worry for a second. I'm sure this guy was whining and worrying about not having a franchise QB before Romo. Now he's found something else to whine about. :bang2:

To my knowledge, we have never used the franchise tag on any player. Maybe someone can correct me on this if I am wrong.

I don't believe that Jerry likes to use the franchise tag because, in most instances, it isn't good for the team or the player. It is much better to simply sign the guy to a long term contract or let him go.

I can't think of a top player that got away from us that we wanted to keep.

Adam would know exactly how it went down but i think we used it on Flo then negotiated a long term deal during the window they give teams.

That is why Jerry has been doing all these commercials to help pay Tony. Or at least that is what Jerry said. :lmao2:

In all that writing you'd think he would have had at least a few FACTS but nope, it was nothing but his opinion.

That was a lot of typing for nothing but his thoughts. :rolleyes:

Next...

But he is thinking, unlike many on the board who are merely feeling the love for Dallas and can't imagine Romo preferring fiscal stability for life over enjoying for an additional number of years the Cowboys' mystic.

The same people who couldn't imagine, when he was a mere UDFA back-up, Romo ever becoming the starter for the fabled Dallas Cowboys are very likely the ones who now aver that the idea of Romo leaving the Cowboys (or refusing to play for them in a 10 month hold out) is an impossibility.

Jerry Jones and Romo's agent may get it all worked out shortly, but as has been said since before training camp, Romo has the upper hand. He is not afraid to risk the situation and I think Jones is. And, despite the exclusive tag, Romo could easily sit out ten months of the next season if the franchise tag irritated him. He does have endorsement income, don't forget.

An amicable arrangement is likely, but it is foolish, in my opinion, even on a message board, to risk in theory the opportunity to preserve a franchise quarterback on the supposition that the Dallas team is the only one in the NFL Romo would gladly play for.

Are you suggesting he moves back to Wisconsin next year after a certain #4 retires?

I would agree that Tony will not stay here just because this is the Cowboys he will stay here because Jerry will pay him. Sorry I have no doubts that Jerry will get this deal done be it next week, next month or next year it will get done.

It's going to play out however it's going to. I've beaten that horse enough.

To the OP: I saw nothing but lots of assumptions on your part. Facts appeared to be either missing or dead, but nice try anyway.

Sheesh.

Do you know what his point was in writing all of that? I'm not sure...

That's just OS flapping his internet gums like he's always done.

I agree with you, Doomsday101...all this other talk is really boring! :D

Jerry may look and sound stupid, but he knows what is what. You don't go for year after year after year looking for a QB, and he knows that he's found one and nothing is going to stop Jerry from keeping Romo...

Lots of financial advisors and worry warts around these parts...

I've been wrong about a few of things but I've been bulls-eye about Tony Romo over the past two years. I peddled for Romo over Bledsoe--and most everyone scoffed. I shouted, pleaded and ranted that Jerry needed to sign Romo past offseason before his price skyrocketed. Again I was derided.

Here's the thing most people don't understand. If Romo plays well, Dallas is not going to get him at a bargain even if they signed him early. It's the QB position which pays extremely well and is so crucial in the game. So if Jerry signed Romo right away to a low figure type of deal and Romo continues to play close to what he's doing now, guess what's going to happen? Romo is going to want to re-work his deal to get compensated to get the contract he feels worthy of getting.

I do agree that "don't be worried" is often foolish, but thinking that Dallas would get any great QB at a bargain basement level for any extended period of time is just as foolish.

There's a low supply and extremely high demand for quality starting QB's. It's even worse for superstar QB's. That alone pretty much throws out saving money by signing Romo now out the window.

No, I hope and expect that he will sign again with Dallas with no trouble, but I think too many board members are too cocky about it and too easily dismiss what could happen.

what a useless post, Tony will be expensive wow who knew?

he is wrong that after 10 games the franchise tag goes away it, the 10 games rule is he has to actualy be on the team for 6 games, therefore he can sit out 10 weeks but then he has to report to the Cowboys

Who wrote this? Please someone help him, he is not real bright i fear for his safety

good god what a waste of time reading that....

This guy really thinks he is going to leave? He really thinks we cant keep him one more year regardless?

He honestly believes he would jump ship here and play for the jets? What a moron.

Note to writer....Romo is part of a tight knit group, I belive romo, witten, hurd, barber, owens, carpenter, mcbriar and crayton all pull for each other and really are friends. They have been spotted out together and outside witten and owens they all were or are backups who came close on the sidelines......

the friendship some of the guys have on this team I believe is very underated and has alot to do with how good they are playing and how they play together.
