Jerry should trade Romo by November 1st

[Elusive6thRing]

Romo needs to be traded. He is 36 with a huge amount of injuries. Not only that the team is on the hook for him for 3 more seasons after this of a cap hit in the 20 millions each season. We could use that cap space to bolster the defense.

On top of that if a team calls with a 2nd or 3rd round pick for a trade maybe even a 1st because teams need QBs it should be a slam dunk. I like Romo he still is a talented QB but Dak has showed poise and won't turn the ball over. I believe Dak will also continue to improve. I believe Dak may be a better fit for our offense. The reason is we can run it with Zeke on 1st and 2nd and Dak has shown he is great not good at 3rd and short. We are moving up and down the field at will, why would we break that up? Romo is more of a threat for a downfield pass but he is also more of a threat to put the ball in the other team's hands. Last year before he was hurt in the first 4 games he threw 5 TDS and 7 INTs, stretched over a season that's 20 TDs and 28 INTs, not very good. He also was not good in pre-season. I realize these are small sample sizes but added with the fact with what Dak has shown us, the salary cap hit and the fact that we're winning and that we can benefit from it in years to come I'm trading Romo by the trade deadline.

This makes perfect sense, but a lot of folks are enamored with failure and want to keep failing, I mean Romo, at all costs.

 

[Virginia-Dave]

Hasn't this been discussed in like 100 other threads? Romo isn't going anywhere this season. Deal with it.

All of the reasons you listed as why he should be traded are the same reasons that no one will trade for him.

I disagree, Carson Palmer was considering retirement and the Raiders gave the Bengals a 1st round pick for him. Also with how much this forum is in love with Romo isn't it illogical to think he can't even be traded to any team? It's supply and demand and Quarterbacks are in demand, there are a handful of teams that would take the risk. I personally wouldn't even require a high draft pick the benefit would still come from being able to boost the defense in years to come.

If you are right and not one team will trade for him so be it you just keep him and nothing changes but I think Jerry Jones will keep him no matter what and that's a mistake.

Carson Palmer wasn't as old as Romo, and not nearly the injury history.

So you're saying Romo is done and no team will touch him yet a lot of the forum says he should be the starting QB of the Dallas Cowboys, which is it? Because one of you is wrong and one of you is right. If he is done and no team wants him why would he be our starting QB? But he will be in a few weeks.

I hope you are just ragging on people and don't really think it's that simple.
Plenty of teams would want him as player. Dude just led the league in QB rating in 2014.
It's the contract.
Dallas has already committed to the contract and dead money applies if/when he is cut.
Sure, if other teams could get him at great price, they'd be all over it.

Minnesota would have been a good match.
If Bridgewater were to return it'd be in two years. That would work well with Romo.
But they got a much younger guy in Bradford...and he's doing well.

The Jets would be another....but I would assume that'd be in 2017. They'll probably just draft someone....again. lol

I'm not ragging on anyone I'm stating my opinion that some team or another would trade for Romo. I'm not sure it'd be a high draft pick but I don't care if it's a 6th or 7th round pick I'd still do it. Supply and demand and QBs are in demand. I know one team that wants Romo to be the starting QB of their team with the best knowledge of his contract and injuries, the one that gave him the contract the Dallas Cowboys. Why is in acceptable that the Cowboys want Romo to start but it's unfathonable that one other team would want him to play for them with that same contract? That doesn't make sense to me. Are you arguing that the Cowboys are dumber than the rest of the teams?

So I guess the official stance of some on this forum is that Tony Romo is done yet he should start over Dak Prescott, seems legit.

The Minnesota/Bradford trade was no factor with Romo at all the Cowboys were not going to trade Romo before Dak played a single game that also makes no sense. I still don't believe they'll trade Romo even for a first rounder if Dak wins the next 2 games.

And what do you do if we are 12-4 and Dak gets hurt......I hope you say turn to Sanchez for the playoffs

Romo has had a bunch of injuries since signing that contract.
After last year, I'm sure Dallas would not have given Romo such a long term deal.

It's not how good they think he can play this year, it's the risk going forward and the duration of the deal.

That's a risk all 32 teams have to face if their starting QB goes down. If Brady goes down the Patriots did well without him but they're not winning a SB, if Rodgers goes down GB isn't winning anything. Even if that happened we would still have put ourselves in a better situation for the next 3 seasons because we can improve on defense without Romo's contract.

Also if we went 12-4 with Dak we absolutely did the right thing trading Romo, there's more than just this season to think about.

Agreed what's your point?

 

[YosemiteSam]

Dak should be traded by Nov 1st. Romo will be back and he is far more proven than Dal not to mention we should sell while the price is so high! Once the rest of the league figures out Dak, it will be all down hill from there and we won't get anything for him!

SELL! SELL! SELL!!!!

Oh well is not a plan

My point was that you seem to think other teams not wanting that big contract is reflection of how good Romo is as a player this year.
You keep saying if other teams don't want him (which is not true, they'd want him but not the contract) then why would anyone say he should start ahead of Dak.
Two different topics really.

This year, on Dallas' team, many think Romo is certainly a better player than Dak. Some don't, of course.
But most wanting Dak to remain a starter want it because 1) his youth, 2) the future, 3) how the team is playing right now anyway.
They're not saying Romo is worse as much as saying why get in the way of progress.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Tony's Romo's contract would be the same on our team as another team who trade for him. My point is even if it's not by the trade deadline but in the off-season if we value Romo too much to trade him which would have to take his contract into consideration then we're fine with the contract yet every other NFL team is like "no way" that does not compute. Why would we be fine with it yet every other team says no? None of you have explained that at all. It's not two different topics Romo's contract is the topic.

 

[DandyDon52]

All of the reasons you listed as why he should be traded are the same reasons that no one will trade for him.

Many teams would take Romo, look at the jets, they are a playoff team if they had Romo
NO took brees, not knowing if his shoulder would hold up.
Carson and bradford had the bad knees.

I actually think Romo might play better on another team, he is too comfortable here, and that is why he loses.

 

[DandyDon52]

They wont trade him though, they never trade anyone for something good, they always wait too long.
It would be a gamble, but it could pay off big time, with money to spend on defense and keep the good players we have.

 

[Nightman]

Tony Romo will not be traded this year.............PERIOD

 

[Hardline]

I love the alternate reality some folks live in around here.
