@mortreport

Cowboys now expect to trade Tony Romo to Broncos or Texans, sources say. Broncos talking with Jets about Trevor Siemian.

Bidding war please.....

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

Do you know any good ones? What's her number?

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.

That's OUR cap hit if we keep him ($24.7M), not the new team's hit. We have to pick up the remainder of his unprorated SB, the recieving team is only on the hook for his base salary ($14M). At least that's what I gleamed from all the articles on the situation.

So when are the reports going to come out saying Romo will retire?

We already have reports of him being released, followed by reports of him being traded.

I think they are only liable for the base, year-to-year. The Cowboys are already picking up the bonus on the cap.

Its not a cap hit to the team that trades for him. They are only on the hook for base salary. Dallas is on the hook for the signing bonuses (guaranteed money)

If Jerry continues to hold him, he will be able to trade him if he wants to at some point because there is a qb shortage in the nfl. It is simple supply and demand.

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.

Eh, sounds like you're really stretching to find negativity.

 

[DC Cowboy]

Then draft OJ Howard. DOne deal

The TE from Miami is going to be better than Howard

Same goes for Houston. Tennessee is on the rise.

And Jacksonville has Barry Church now!!

I think Jags are going to run away with the nfl south. They are killing it in FA. They are going to get Fournette in the draft and take off.

Watching the Schefter Cam on espn.com. Hard to get a read on his body language. Keep in mind, 4pm is not a deadline. We have until June 1st now that we know (or sources are claiming) that we have some potential trade partners.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

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.

It is when you're paying Brock Osweiler $16 million in 2017, too

 

[rambo2]

I don't think so.

The biggest issue there is Bortles, who just isn't very good

 

[blumayne38]

Here is the only problem with that statement:

Really don't act like Tony Romo isn't a top 10 QB

 

[DC Cowboy]

Contract can be reworked before a trade is made

Except you forgot one thing.....Bortles is still the QB.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

Just being realistic after watching how Jerry operates for the last 30 years
