PFT - Cold war brewing between Romo and Cowboys click-bait

pugilist · Mar 12, 2017

i'm a cowboys fan, not a insert player's name here fan, and Romo will be one of my favorite cowboys ever.

the organization would be beyond foolish not to secure SOMETHING for their all-time leader in yards, TDs, and comp %

Hard to believe anything the press has been saying about the situation since they have flip flopped almost twice a day since FA started. One moment they say 'expect Romo to be released', the next they will say 'expect Romo to be traded.'

I expect and demand that Jerry and Co. wait this out for as long as they feasibly can do so. It's not a seller's market at this moment. Wait until it starts to develop into one. If it never happens, then you did all you could do and cut bait.

I'm sure Texans fans may be wondering why they traded Osweiler away and didn't secure Romo in a trade when they had the chance. And I'm sure Broncos fans don't think Trevor Siemien is right for the job and that Paxton Lynch is not ready yet when they still have a top notch defense that won the Super Bowl 2 years ago.

All of that adds up and when it comes to nut-cutting time....they'll have a lot of explaining to do to their fanbase.

YR

Not just explaining to the fan base
The Texans coaching staff will be looking for a new job as well
Both these teams need Romo in the worst way and will trade for him if we have the gumption to hold on

Jerry shouldn't blink just yet. If/when the Texans bring Cutler in for a visit.......then react. By not having any starting QB's go to Houston, that tells me they want Romo. Same can be said of Denver but less so.

Never forget why you liked the player to begin with. He played on this team. It's all about the team.

So what will be considered a "development" over the next six weeks until the draft?

What is the urgency from the team standpoint until June 1?

As opposed to Jerry going to the media and saying yep, we're at war.

I've got ocean front property in Nebraska to sell you.

I think theyd both like for Dallas to get something in return, but most around the league dont see it happening.
I think they even say as much in this article.

Too high risk. Teams may want him as a FA, so they can tear up the 3 years 54 mil and do an incentive based deal.

You can't just hold on to him if you can't work out a trade. With limited suitors and Romo's history...he's not going to have teams jumping up and down for him. Holding onto him against his will with no intention on keeping himsets an example of how we treat players to the league and the locker room.

I hope we get something. I don't think we know the whole side of the story. For all we know, Romo is the ultimate team guy and wants Dallas to get something in return.

I'm not interested in what most around the league sees happening. What kind of submissive attitude is that? He's under contract. The Cowboys control this. Trade, backup or retire. No other option.

I wish I could throw hands with Romo right now.

This is a great opportunity to separate the real Cowboys fans from the fake ones.

Love the team. Hate Romo.

You can criticize what you love.

Retire or be a backup. It's your fault Dak has your job buddy.

Cowboys_22 · Mar 12, 2017

I love the Cowboys but not going to hate Romo based on rumors and what media says....

Go Cowboys :starspin:

I think there's one other option, Risen.
A waiver is not my preferred choice but I'm not in denial.

There really could've been yet another one--stay and compete on a level playing field for the job he lost due to injury--but that has been removed by the Cowboys.
I get it, but that alone changes the dynamic as this thing.

JoeKing · Mar 12, 2017

I blame the media for creating this situation. The Cowboys most likely always intended to trade Romo but then the media started rumors of Romo's imminent release and suddenly all likely suitors are thinking they can get him as a much cheaper UFA.

He's been boxing since he was 4 years old....so maybe not.

His dad was a military boxer...its a family thing

Do whats right for the Cowboys. Love Romo but I want to win

Why can't we hold on to him?
He is being well paid for this year by any standard and is under contract that he signed of his free will

If we release him we not only get nothing in return but we have to pay him AND we have to pay 2-4 million to the back up QB we do sign

How does that make any sense at all?

they can go after cutler, they know it wont get them anything.

i'd rather keep romo as a backup then release him for nothing.
