News: Jerry Jones Says “No” Decision Yet Regarding Romo’s Future in Dallas *MERGE*

[blumayne38]

My guess is that it'll be none of those.

Release with either post June 2 designation or no designation at all.
Cant rule out a trade though.

He stays and plays 2 more yeas

You predict he starts or backs up?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

We get those same savings with a trade.......cutting Romo is plain dumb.... he is worth more as a back up than a straight release and if he doesn't like it he can retire and we get 12m back from his signing bonus

Sorry but a backup is not worth $17m; quite the contrary.

I am not saying that getting something in trade is not better or that we need to be in a hurry. The deadline is the first game of the season when salaries become guaranteed.

"Well...can we keep him as a backup?"

"He's GONE, MacReady!"

 

[links18]

I just want Jerry to think about the Dallas Cowboys during this whole deal and not Tony Romo. You owe Romo nothing. You're the GM of the Dallas Cowboys.

And he is a Romo-loving fan.....

Good ole Garry. He did never liked being tied down to furniture.

 

[haleyrules]

Tony will be released. That is the only logical resolution.

Until the day Dallas makes a deal for Romo, "no" should be Jerry's answer any time that question is asked.

Two things:

1. Yes, he should stay at least one year.
2. If there is a statement that "no decision has been made"... you can bet it already has... been..... made.

I guess you haven't been properly introduced to blumayne. He thinks Romo should be inserted back as the starter.

Time to move on.
Nothing against Romo at all, but that's how it is.

First off it is only 14m
And B it can be renegotiated or restructured down dramatically

Either way the best outcomes come after June 1st unless we get blown away with a draft pick package for this year

restructured just means you pay it later. it still ends up costing you and he only has 3 years on his deal.

why would he renegotiate?

He already said he would .......he would get more guaranteed money and possibly more say in his destination or role for less of a cap hit

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

He said he would do that to facilitate a trade. He did not say he would renegotiate to stay on as backup.

He already knows he is going to get the $14m if he stays and does not renegotiate. Guaranteeing him more than that is absurd.

If you get him to take a renegotiation to $5m AAV then sure but that is not going to happen.

He can take per game incentives to recoup some money but if he stays it is as a bak up

Not one person knows what is going to happen, so saying something is out is very premature
