Romo needs to create a market

[Nightman]

He has to decide if he wants to start somewhere else, if he wants max money or if staying in Dallas with family and friends is enough.........the best way to handle the situation is to renegotiate his contract immediately

He should sign a deal that guarantees him 10m over the next 2 years in base salary with 500k per games started incentives....he can add a third year option but no more guarantees

If he stays as a bak-up to Dak he gets 5m and a chance to go to the SB as a hero if Dak gets hurt......it lowers his cap hit to 15.7m saving DAL 9m on the cap this year and 15m next year


If he gets traded he gets 5m + up to 8m in starts for 13m total and a chance to join a playoff caliber team ....even if he gets hurt and misses time he has 5m coming to him in 2018........ but it keeps his cap number down for the new team that trades for him to 5m in 2017 adding more teams to the dance

Right now he is owed 3yr/54m but none of it is guaranteed, including his 14m base salary this year..... more teams would be more willing to jump if he had an incentive laden contract......his contract and his health questions are stumbling blocks but he is too good to just give away.....if teams know Dallas will keep him they will have to up their interest

DAL should also ask for conditional trades.....they could take a 1st or 2nd this year but offer back a 4th next year if he misses 8 games or more......if the trade comes after the draft just make it a conditional 1st or 3rd for 2018 depending on games played

Restructuring would help but I don't think his contract is the issue. He can also agree to a new deal as a condition to the deal.

Also I read an article on DMN or FWST that said Romo had been feeding things already through his own channels. I think its purely an issue of what team is going to blink - and time is on the side of the Cowboys to wait things out.

Should have traded him a long time ago instead of giving him a massive contract.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Romo has already said he would redo his contact.......not sure why this is still an issue

when did he say this?

I don't think DAL has given him permission to even talk to other teams yet... tampering is still in play

JJones kept talking about 'reading tea leaves' at the combine

 

[Setackin]

I was thinking the same thing a few days ago. Re-negotiating would do a lot, maybe even bring in another team...

Before free agency started Romo said he was willing to redo his contract if traded.

To be fair we have no idea if Romo has permission or not from Jerry

DAL is in no hurry but I would prefer the draft picks this year if possible and high enough

Exactly, this draft is deep in key areas of need for Dallas, we need an extra pick in the 2nd or 3rd.

DEN and HOU are playing games so a third team would rattle their cages like the Jets, Niners or Rams

Of these teams, the Rams would be most likely. Goff could stand to learn from a guy like Romo and they are close to being a contender with a qb.

Still seems like a flat out release to me. Combination of Jerry's big mouth and Romo and Elway collusion appears to be the reason we are where we are with it.

Can you enlighten us with the evidence of Romo-Elway collusion?

I've always thought it made a lot of sense for the Jets, their front office will get killed by their fans if they go into next season with Geno Smith starting again.

None of those 3 teams make sense to go after romo though but I get what you're saying.

Romo still gets his choice whatever it is ........this just invites a couple more players to ante

Without some pressure this Mexican stand-off can go on for months and that hurts Romo a lot more than DAL

A lot of people already disagree but that is OK

Woody Johnson isn't getting any younger or poorer now that he is an Ambassador... he needs to do something big
