Mort: Cowboys expect to trade Romo to Texans or Broncos ***MERGE***

[bayeslife]

well I guess Adam schefter is a certified hack. does he get anything right?

 

[Cowboys22]

Is it safe to say we all got played? Jerry dangled the prospect of a free Tony Romo and let several teams plan their free agency with going after Romo as a big part of it and then, BAM, take Romo away and watch a market materialize out of thin air.

 

[jwooten15]

They're trying to drum up a trade market for Romo.

This is the problem the people whining about releasing him never seemed to understand. There's probably a very, very shortlist of teams Romo is interested in playing for and those teams, such as Denver, have the cap space to sign him outright, so why would they trade a draft pick for him?

What amazes me is that the Broncos somehow can sign anybody they want to, and they always have cap space to keep doing it. It boggles my mind. Yet we are always scraping pennies together.

 

[darthseinfeld]

This sucks. I have work I really need to be doing.

Nothing is happening anyway,just go

This. Check in in an hour.

At least you have a distraction. High winds knocked power out here so I have literally nothing to do but lurck and post lol. I probably wont even be able to go to work tonight

 

[iceberg]

lol oh so now we never planned to waive him?

Fake news is definitely a thing.

people drawing war and peace conclusions from 140 character twitters is also a thing. people need to calm down at times and not pretend everything read is a final decision, much less true.

 

[LittleD]

Until he is officially released team A may feel they cant outbid Team B, so they call and make a trade offer to secure the rights.

Unlikely. But still a possibile scenario

Time is running short but, could happen... The team wanting Romo has to call Jerry directly to make a deal.

 

[Aven8]

He already did last year, remember?

With the way NE played and Hous defense that night in the playoff Romo might have won that game for them.

 

[vaturkey]

Bottom line its cheaper to take him under his current contract then get into a bidding war with someone else. A trade always made good sense if you could work out the compensation. Like at any auction. Only takes two bidders to drive the price through the roof.

Like I said a few pages ago, if a trade goes down will be very interesting to see the gamesmanship involved

safer to say people rush to their own conclusions then adjust reality to fit later.

A little easier to do that when you don't have a big-money elite QB on your roster, but the flipside to that is you miss the playoffs like Denver did this year.

 

[LittleD]

Maybe Jerry isn't as dumb as I originally thought.

I told you guys that Jerry was showing his cards so to generate a bid. He's a riverboat gambler.

really depends on how much romo would look for as a free agent. if he feels he'd rather stay close to home and take less cause houston has a better core, denver's cap space means nothing. denver has plenty but houston has 22+ million also

Exactly my thinking.

 

[CATCH17]

If we get a great trade in our favor it will be from Houston.

I don't think Denver would be as desperate as Houston SHOULD be.

 

[rynochop]

Maybe a flip flop of 1st with Houston or a 3rd ...hopefully..... better than the Jun 1 waiver, imo.
Kind of don't see Denver trading, but who knows. Seems like maybe Houston because they're worried Denver would win out in an open market?
Don't know.

Be fun to be a fly on the wall in Jerrys office, Bet the Johnny walker blue is ready to go

I hope this is right. If so, it's genius and I underestimated Jerry/Stephen. Or it's all just BS and I've estimated them exactly right.

 

[Stash]

If Jerry pulls this off, I'll be the first fan to say I got played and apologize to the old coot!

Clowney for romo straight up. LOL. In all fairness, ill take their first rounder. Or even second rounder

 

[Aven8]

Exactly my thinking.

Can't lie.....I'll miss him!
