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

[erod]

I'll take Houston's 2nd this year and then a 5th rounder this year or a 3rd rounder next year.

Houston just gave their 2nd to Cleveland. You'll have to accept a 1st.

One thing that people have not considered much in this thread is that the Cowboys floated the release yesterday to spur clubs into action.

If that is the case then it has worked masterfully and a lot of people look foolish right now.

To be quite honest... many people here often look foolish.

So Mike Fisher was the pawn in all this.

Fisher is a putz. I think the team purposely feeds him BS because he's rarely right about anything but claims to have known about it after 10 others break the story.....

 

[erod]

Easy. They were aware of Jerry's conversation with Tony. Probably got the message thru Tonys agent. Knowing Jerry's relationship with Tony, Houston felt pretty confident Jerry would not renege on that agreement. The monkey wrench in this thing is Stephen apparently convinced Jerry to hold tight, but we'll see for how long.

OK, then Romo signs with Denver.

Now what does Houston do?

2018 2nd rounder

The 2nd they gave is from 2018 not this year

It was in the back of my mind that it was a "call to action" for teams interested.

There was just nothing in their history to really think that was the case.

Still to be seen, but as of now i'll give them a "well played".

They traded a 2018 2nd not 2017

Mike Fisher has a press pass and act like he is somebody special because he too can talk to Rich Dalrymple.

There is no reason whatsoever to pay for his premium service. He has no special access that the DMN, FWST and AM idiots don't also get.

Start Savage and draft a rookie QB like they were planning all along.

2018 2nd rounder

LOL!!!

 

[negativecreep]

I said it before, this might get a little weird, All I can do is sit back and watch how this plays out.

 

[dalboy]

The only reason I follow him during the season is because he's usually the first to name the inactives.

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

Anyone know what year Houston's 2nd round pick is?

 

[erod]

For the 1000 time.

2018 2nd rounder

With Romo, that might as well be a 3rd rounder in 2018.

Pass.

 

[AzorAhai]

Is this guy worth a damn? Why wouldn't they trade for Romo? They're just gonna go into the season with Tom Savage?

Apparently he's the most connected guy in Houston, but I didn't see him say anything about the Brock deal before it happened either.

Hes better than Osweiller, thats about all I can say

You hit the nail on the head there about him not calling the Brock trade.

It's clear Houston is playing its cards close to the vest. They're being shrewd. Which is why I think Jerry ultimately is the first to cave and just releases him.

But I also don't think what Houston is telling McClain is written in stone. They're playing poker at the moment.

 

[Avery]

I have nothing of consequence to say here, just hoping you will like this comment to inflate my ego.

This dude has been reporting in Houston since Warren moon was there.
