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

[OldCoach]

Brilliant.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

This has houston making a move written all over it.

This has desperate Jerry smokescreen written all over it... just so he can tell the fans "I tried everything and no one would trade for him." Let's not be suckers

Where is the liquor store guy when you need him?

Post of the week!!

 

[LittleD]

Guys, guys, I'm hearing it's a 2nd round pick! The voices in my head are telling me this. Let's hope they are right!

You need to go see a head doctor. Especially if you are answering them.

Romo and Witten for JJ Watt.

I would make that trade in a hot second.

 

[eternaljester81]

They will obviously rework his deal.

Exactly. Steve Dennis loves the sound of his own voice.

I would make that trade in a hot second.

Then draft OJ Howard. DOne deal

You really think Jerry cares about forum dorks like us? Come on now.

If I'm not mistaken, the receiving team would only be on the hook for $14M this coming year. That's not a lot for a good starting QB and there would be plenty of time to work a new deal for any outlying years...or they could simply cut him after 2017 with no cap hit.

That's all they need. Anybody that watched that playoff game knew that. RB, Hopkins, the new Fuller kid, a good TE. They are ready. I would give a 1 and 2 for him if I were in that position!

Could dallas just say "you know what I think we will let Romo start next year and give him one more shot." Even if they had no intention on doing so, and wouldn't that sway negotiations? On denver or any team that shows intrest? I'd say so, Romo despite what anybody says is good enough to win it all if given an opportunity. That in it self is warrent for taking a "risk ", if you can even call a QB of Tony's caliber a "risk". I mean it's laughable the thing's they say on ESPN and it's even more laughable people eat it up..add NFL network to that also.

I could be wrong, but I think 14 is only his base. The cap hit is like 25 mil or something. Please someone correct me if I'm off base.

Steve Dennis wouldn't understand a player's contract if it bit him in the backside.

 

[Tass]

Houston with Romo is a SB contender.

Here is the only problem with that statement:

The signing bonus is the responsibility of the team that he signed with (us). The base salary is the responsibility of the team he's playing for. And the same is true for the cap hit.

You're right, not about us. But he does care about PR. And he does not want to look weak or stupid. So he tries a last ditch stunt to cover up for all his "do right" comments that telegraphed to everyone that he was cutting Romo.
