If we can cut Aikman and Emmitt, we certainly can cut Romo

[Q_the_man]

I'm just saying some people show more respect to Romo than both Aikman and Emmitt. Aikman and Emmitt won 3 rings. I don't understand Jerry, he has no issues cutting 2 of the greatest players in Cowboys history but acts as if Romo won 2 or 3 rings himself.

Don't mind me it's just an early morning rant.

Why cut him? I know I am in the minority but I let his contract run out. Not paying anything for Dak now anyways and no need to do so till 3 years from now.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

I think the stance is cutting Romo, as opposed to trading him, would show him the greatest respect.

 

[zrinkill]

We also cut Quincy Carter.

 

[J_Allen]

Aikman retired. We did not cut him.

 

[skinsscalper]

Neither Aikman nor Smith were cut. One retired and the other was a FA who signed with another team (with a better offer on the table from Dallas). Facts and all, ya know.

We cut him. It's just that he decided to retire afterwards.

Aikman was waived. Jerry wanted to wait until June 1 to lessen the cap hit, but Aikman forced his hand and it put Cowboys further in cap problems.

True. In fact, he pondered going to Philly or San Diego before retiring.

Maybe Romo has been on the Party Bus with Jerry. Wink, wink.

Well, I'll be damned. Facts and all, I suppose, eh.

Thanks for the correction. The only thing I remember from that terrible time was Aikman's retirement press conference.

I don't think Jerry would say publicly that he was going to cut or trade Tony until after the season.

I remember Philly. Don't remember San Diego. However, obviously, my memory is fuzzy regarding that period.

Why not? He says everything else under the sun publicly.

Well you said it in the first line. They won 3 rings, they had nothing else to prove. In Jerrys mind, Romo still has something to prove. What worries me more is us making the bowl game and jerry sitting Dak for Romo because of "experience". Call me crazy, but that is a very real possibility with this yahoo of an owner/gm/president/vp of HR/chief medical officer.

 

[MRV52]

We also cut Weedan and Cassel.

Honestly i wish he would just SHUT UP. Im surprised our playbook hasnt been sold online yet on the DC.Com website.

We will not pay Romo 20+ mil a year to be a backup. Now if he takes a massive paycut but who in their right mind would take a 15 mil paycut?
