If the Broncos want Romo

[rambo2]

I've already given my opinion as to what I think will and won't happen. Check my archives it's you that wants to know.

Really, I'm curious. Which team does Tony end up with and how does he get there?

 

[KJJ]

Flipping pick 20 for pick 28 and Romo is a gamble?

At this point it would be because the Broncos would have to take on Romo's contract. Adding Romo may force them to have to part ways with one of their young QBs and possibly another player. Trying to take on Romo's contract could have a negative affect down the road for Denver. John Elway pointed out you have to look at the long-tern ramifications of making that kind of move.

No one has that answer, all anyone can do is speculate and I've done my share of that the past several weeks. It's obvious you're just looking to waste my time and unless you can come up with angle we haven't discussed, this discussion between us is over.

 

[Nightman]

The 20 pick is perfect value for the Romo trade.

Not for Romo and 28

The 80th pick isn't enough for Romo

You said it yourself, DEN would do the swap in a heartbeat......no duh because it is a robbery

It puts them to the front of line and they still keep a 1st round pick that other QB needy teams covet

Everyone wants to call Romo the missing link to the Super Bowl but they think DAL should just give him away.......???????.......makes no sense........a half dozen teams desperately want him and another half dozen are interested and you want to dump him for 8 draft spots.......no thanks

Flipping first round picks may not be ideal, but its better than nothing.

I still think odds are Romo gets released, Jerry will do it out of respect and gratitude for all Romo has done for the franchise. Jerry is not going to hold Romo hostage nor is he going to trade Romo to some trash team with no shot of contending.

So the writing on the wall is pretty clear, either a contender offers up a pick or we will release Romo out of respect.

 

[MRV52]

The player we could get at 20 wouldn't be that much better than the one we can get at 28.

That trade isn't getting fair value for Romo.

But Denver's 1st and 2nd swap might work.

 

[big dog cowboy]

But Denver's 1st and 2nd swap might work.

Interesting. Not sure how I feel about that. You got me thinking however. The extra 3rd round pick (if that would be the offer) gets the Cowboys a really good player. Considering how many JAGS we have on defense I'm always in favor of extra picks to replace dead wood.

 

[DFWJC]

I think Romo has 3 years and 54 million left on his deal.
Those trading fro him are also trading for that. I'll leave it to all the varying opinions on if that's a lot or not. But when you trade for a player, it's not just draft picks, you are also paying for the contract unless redone.
He will want at lease guarantees, though I doubt he cares if the contract itself is huge.

I had the Cowboys redoing his contract before the trade.

So, no answer. You just want to keep talking about the health of Romo. Well, Romo will be playing next year one way or another.

 

[negativecreep]

and we got Collins with our 3rd last year...........I would move back this year, not forward

Trading down is a good idea for us, especially this year and where we are picking, maybe a Travis Frederick player falls to us again, but I doubt it. I would be perfectly happy stocking up on young promising players that can provide depth, regardless of they're position(just not a kicker). We are not far away from the top teams in the NFL, this offseason could really help to close that gap.

I run a business and one thing I've learned is that how you treat people(especially long tenured people) is a real reflection of the kind of team members you have. I realize a lot of people see this as a cut throat business...and it is but a 13 year player who has meant so much to the organization success shouldn't be done that way if you want future 10+ year players.

If Romo cannot get where he wants to go because his contract cannot be traded, he will be cut. There will be a huge effort made to get him where he wants to go even if it means nothing in return. I truly believe that.

It baffles me that some otherwise bright people dont understand this.

It'd be one thing if he spent his career always cutting corners, always battling contracts, holding out, never playing if even slightly hurt (vs playing with broken bones, puncured lungs, etc) , getting in trouble with law....or just being a terrible player and teammate.
The guy had done everything and given everything that he could.

And now, what really sets this further apart, is that he is being told he cant even compete for the job. One that many believe he would win in a fair competition.
Yet he has still taken tne high road.

Yes....He will be will be, and should be, treated way better than most in this situation.
And yes...people WILL notice

Hopefully it works out both Romo and the Cowboys

Lol do you have the faintest inkling of the value of a Rd 1 pick?

If someone were to give you 10 million for one of your workers or you could fire him and he could go elsewhere and you get nothing, which option are you choosing ?

 

[Toruk_Makto]

If the Broncos want Romo, the Cowboys need to have him redo his contract and trade pick 28 and Romo to Denver for pick 20. I can't see them releasing Romo when they can do this and how in the world is Houston not trying to get Romo? The Cowboys trading Romo to Denver seems to make sense and is the best fit for Romo.

I'd rather have a 3rd rounder than trade up 8 spots for Romo.

People overvalue their ability to pick great players with specificity. Get more picks.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

That is 3rd round value.

I hate to burst the bubble for you guys, but a 3rd is probably the best we are going to do. This idea that some team is going to start handing over first round picks is just pure fantasy.

I would love to be wrong here, but I just don't see it.....................we are not getting a 1st round pick for Romo

You're right, of course. I wish the Vikings' desperation for a QB had happened a year later.

If it ended in a situation with that team member not being happy because I was greedy, it wouldn't be worth it. That's what would happen with a Romo cut throat trade to a team like the browns because they offered the most.

Word travels fast. How you treat people means a lot especially when you're a pro football team that hasn't won a super bowl since 1995.

Money isn't everything my friend.

There will be give and take.
Cant see a 1st rounder even being on the table...not even close.
But if by fantasy-land miracle there is (cannot eliminate the chance) then there'll be some long/hard talks.
NO team will make that offer unless Romo's agent has confirmed that he wants to play there. It'd be a waste of time.
So, if its a team he would play for ( even if not his very top choice) the trade might go down

Why is OK for Romo to be greedy? He was paid over 130m to QB for DAL and he won't accept being a well paid bak-up so he can chase a dream of winning a SB with a different team.....something he couldn't do here

He could help and mentor Dak and be ready to step in on a playoff team if needed ...all while staying in your new home with your wife and 3 kids.......sounds selfish as hell to me

 

[Bigdog]

Just read an article that the Broncos are willing to give Romo $10-12 mil a year. Clarence Hill reported that Romo would take that to play for a chance at the SB.
