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

[DK30]

Throwing this into the mix in terms of "potential" trade values on qbs out there.... holy mother...

No chance even the Pats could pull that off.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

I don't follow the Patriots, but is Jimmy Garappolo that good?

 

[Setackin]

You guys don't think that there's a possibility that Houston might be going after Garoppolo?

I really don't see NE letting a young talented QB going to a conference rival... if they did it would cost the Texans an arm and a leg. Easier/cheaper to trade a 4th for Romo and then look to the Draft for the future.

 

[DFWJC]

If they are, they're sure keeping it close to the vest.

Yeah. Everytime you hear from anyone directly tied to their organizations, not national media, they say Denver likes where they are but if hes dropped will maybe talk. But many reason to stay pat.

Now im hearing no way Houston will trade for him, but if dropped and willing to do an incentive type contract, they would look at it.

 

[8FOR!3]

This is how you negotiate when you have a QB asset. Not "I'm going to do right" by the QB.

No offense, but Romo has given his blood sweat and tears to this organization for a decade and is more than just an asset in Dallas, Jimmy G has no legacy...

Isn't this the time of year where everyone is lying to gain leverage? So by that logic they are both interested hahaha

 

[Dallas_Cowboys50]

this John McClain guy from the Houston Chronicle seems pretty adamant that Houston "will not trade for Tony Romo"...they just interviewed him on NFL Network via phone......

Man.... I'll be pissed.... can't stand NE....

[acer941]

Completely insane. How bad has qb play gotten that Garrapolo could command two 1s?

That's simple negotiating tactics, can you not tell? New England throws an offer on the table that is over the roof, so that any offer that Cleveland counters with from that will be within the range that they want. As in New England may honestly be going after the 12th pick from the start knowing theirs no way they can get the 1st overall.

Paying the 12th overall pick and Two second picks maybe more. Sounds a whole lot better after
You've been hammered with the prospect/idea of paying your 1st overall for a while.

I don't either, but then again if New England really wasn't trying to trade him then they would have shut down any trade talks from the start and never let it get to this point.

You're acting like Tony is playing for free. He has been compensated handsomely during his tenure in Dallas and ony two playoff wins in a decade. No Conference Championship appearance. No Super Bowl appreance.

The Cowboys don't owe Romo a damn thing.

He appears to be banking on the fact Houston can wait out Dallas. That Dallas will cut Romo in the next 24 hours.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

That's fair. I just think Jerry should have said "Romo is worth two number one picks, instead of I'm going to do right by him, I.e. Release him"

If you listen to bellicheat? yup

people are snowed by NE being successful that everyone is good there....the guy did well when Brady was playing with his deflated balls for 4 games; they played inferior competition, but he looked pretty good...not TWO first round good

Let's just hang on to Romo all the way until June 1 then.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Some people are still struggling to adjust to new information being available and insist on repeating the same drivel from yesterday.

You misinterpret my emotion. I just don't find your approach credible.

The things you say!

I agree completely. Tony has been compensated for his time here. It's a business.

It really doesn't matter. You can just restructure people with impunity. If their hits accelerate it doesn't matter cause the Romo cash is coming off the books anyway.
