Morning cz,

Analysts and tv personalities have suggested to trading romo and Bryant at the end of the season. Although I believe trading Bryant is off the table (unless an amazing deal presents it self - walkerish) I could go either way about romo. The only reason this sounds appealing to me is because the Vikings gave up a first for Bradford. I know, romo's cap hit is high and he is older but if a team is willing to pay, we should at the very minimum field offers.

I think the happy median to handling the qb situation is to talk to romo to see if he would consider a restructure of his deal and make him a QB2. That way we have a competent backup we know has had success with this team and we don't find ourselves with the same question marks at QB2.

I can't think of one of 31 teams that would take on an aging injury plagued QB with a big contract. Cowboys cut Romo? I think then you have some takers.

So let me see...
We trade away Dez and have to overpay T Will and have Butler as our 1 and 2....
Then we trade or cut Romo.

How does this help our team again?

I read it twice.
It doesn't say how losing Dez Bryant and Tony Romo is going to make the Cowboys a better team.

What are you looking to do? Free up some cap space so you can overpay other aging vets who become free agents? What about the cap hit for the prorated signing bonuses that would hit your cap next year?

No intelligent arguement can be made by even he biggest Dez hater for trading him and wearing our receivers. T Will is most likely gone after this year. So you want to have Butler and who as the 2 starting WR's?

How does this make any sense at all?

I think it's premature to think about because we don't know how this season is going to play out.

If Prescott leads us to the Super Bowl, then obviously you move on from Romo in some fashion. But Prescott could falter and Romo step in to lead this team on to playoff success, like we had in 2014. Or Romo could step in and get that final injury that makes him decide to call it quits. Or he could step in and struggle and we go back to Romo. Again, that's assuming that Prescott struggles at some point.

Obviously, after the season, we'll have some kind of decision to make, but we're only six games into this season.

You completely missed the point and are getting caught with the wrong point of the post. My mistake. I'll be more clear next time.

What is your opinion on my idea on how to keep romo as QB2. I was really wanting discussion on that, not really about trading.

Also just a point I want to make to anyone reading this. I was saying we should at the very minimum field offers, I never said anything about making a deal. My point was there is no harm to listening to offers. Some of the best deals are the ones not made.

I don't think we can even think about this until after the season is over.
