Twitter: Opinion: Scratch the Texans off the Romo list

I feel like a young QB and Romo to hold down the fort for 2 years is just what they need

I don't know if Texas is a real consideration or not but, assuming Texas does go QB in the draft, that doesn't mean they are not interested in Tony IMO.

Young is a relative term lol

 

[Sportsbabe]

I still have hope.

True, but it's gonna be hard for them to get around that Osweiler contract. The numbers don't make sense.

I don't think there are any 30-something year olds who declared for the draft. While there some implied ageism, McNair's comments do not dismiss certain options for upgrading the position.

That contract is really only a two year deal. he will make something like 16/17 guaranteed this year. After that, he's free and clear. I think it could really depend on how they might decide to structure a deal with Tony and how much he really wanted to start for a Houston.

JMO.

I'm with you. Osweiler has one year left and he's gone, that's clear. They tried and failed with that move, they and everyone else knows it.

But one mistake shouldn't cause them to make another and not pursue a quality quarterback when they can get one.

This is just more of the 'negotiation dance' that all organizations go through.

In other words......"We are not tipping our hand and will wait for his release".

Tony needs to sue the Texans for age discrimination.

 

[Kevinicus]

A young QB in the draft is very unlikely (but obviously not impossible) to contribute right away. He would likely need time to learn and grow. That doesn't help them get over their playoff hump. Neither will Brock. Getting young for the future is nice, especially with an elite QB in place while they learn.

Perhaps he shouldn't jump the gun before waiting-and-seeing if McNair tells him no to his face first.

 

[MileyDancer]

I don't know why he'd even consider living in Houston in the first place.

To me, it's a price Texas will eventually have to pay because of the decision they made with Osweiler. To me, its a window discussion for Texas. They have a team, IMO, that could really challenge if they had good QB play. The real question is, will Texas be willing to wait the three seasons, or so, it would take to get a young QB up to speed and ready to seriously challenge for a Super Bowl or are they willing to be patient and wait and if they wait, are they rebuilding their team again because the window has closed?

Too early in the offseason to know what teams will do. I still think Tony is worth more than your average aging QB. He can literally be a difference maker for 3-4 teams out there. Some one of them is going to cough up a pick to lock him up rather than bidding for him on the open market.

They might luck into a Dak Prescott.
