Report: Cowboys' Tony Romo prefers Denver as his next team
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/r...refers-denver-as-his-next-team-151910916.html



Although Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said this week that he’s had no thoughts of Tony Romo playing for a team other than the Cowboys in 2017, it’s a little hard to believe Romo will be with Dallas much longer.

For one thing, it’s silly to think the Cowboys are going to keep Romo as a $14 million backup (with a nearly $25 million cap hit thanks for bonuses and restructuring), and for another, it would be silly for Romo to be OK with simply carrying a clipboard in Dallas when he made it pretty clear during his reflective Tuesday podium appearance that he still wants to play.

So of course the question becomes, where would Romo go?

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Romo has targeted the Denver Broncos. John Elway stepped up a few years ago to get Peyton Manning, a move that paid off for both sides. Denver has some great pieces on offense with receivers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, young running back Devontae Booker and C.J. Anderson, who is currently on injured reserve, plus the Broncos have one f the best defenses in the NFL...

Wow, just wow.

If my cat pukes on the carpet and I interpret it as Romo to the Broncos, can I be a source too?

I would take Shane Ray and a second round pick.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

The Broncos drafted their QB of the future this past season. Would make as much sense for them to trade for Romo as it would for us to keep him as the starter going forward.

I'm not buying any of this, takes a couple of crap games from a rookie fourth rounder and Tony's starting. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw Tony today with a bad first half from Dak. Everyone needs to remember our backup who everyone likes to make fun of, was a rookie sensation

Interesting read, but we already have a thread on this.

We'll see but NFL Insiders are predicting a mid round pick at best.

At this point you can't expect much but the cap relief is the big thing.

If the coaches brought in Tony after a bad half from Dak, they deserve to be fired.

Lynch is not even the starter over Trevor Siemien and Romo is would be a clear upgrade over either if healthy.

That could change. Desperate teams do desperate things. Especially when it comes to the QB position.

True, but Lynch was brought in to be the guy. Sitting him this year was the right thing but you can bet they expect him to be their starter next year.

I am not gonna complain if we can somehow get a draft pick or two out of Romo. Just would be very surprised if Denver would be the place.

A team would have to be pretty darn desperate to give a high draft pick when odds are he will be released anyway. I could easily see teams playing wait-and-see.

And as soon as Tony has a crap game, then Dak is back in!

I don't doubt that

Me too. It will be interesting. If I had to guess we won't betting getting a very high pick for him but like I said, it will interesting watching this all unfold. I wish him well no matter where he lands.

 

[lwehlers]

I would think that the jets would be the team he ends up with. we still have seven games left so plenty of time left in the season so romo could play anytime now.

It all depends on Elway if he doesn't think Romo can stay healthy he might just go with what he has but if he does get a healthy Romo they're a Super Bowl contender next season. I don't think the compensation will be high for Romo regardless of where he goes I think a 4th round pick might be all we get but I do think Jerry will trade Romo whereever he wants to go if the team he wants to go to wants him.

 

[Cowboysfan917]

There is something odd going on with the reps being split the way they are and everything. I suspect we will see Romo take the field sooner rather than later.

If not, Romo basically has the pick of where to go(in interested teams) because he will likely have to restructure or redo his contract just to be traded meaning he could basically veto any trade.
