Romo supposedly has 3 TV offers

[dallasfan4lizife]

#1 option

This is why his back went out prematurely. Golf puts a tremendous amount of wear and tear on your body if you do it enough.

There's no way he's retiring this year.

If it comes down to playing for the Jets, the Bears or retiring, I can see him retiring.

 

[xwalker]

If Romo decided to retire how much would he count against the salary cap?

It's all the same. There will be 19M of dead-money that hits the cap regardless of cut, trade, June 1st cut or retire.

It can all hit the cap this year or be split between 2017 and 2018, but it's 19M total regardless. They will delay cap hits for other player's contracts if it all hits this year or not delay those cap hits if Romo's dead-money is spread over two years.

If he retired against the wishes of the team, they could request that he repay part of his signing bonus, but that rarely happens and Jerry definitely won't do it with Romo.

Bottom line: All options will have the same basic affect on the cap.

Why does anyone think he would be good at color analyst?

No way to know.

I never thought Aikman could do it.

No way to know.

I never thought Aikman could do it.

That is why I found multiple offers to be a little silly.....do color analysts really bring viewers to a point that there would be a bidding war

The networks like big names and they like Cowboys players. They'll probably take Romo over Ronde Barber even if Barber is better.

The offers were probably offers for an interview "If you retire, call me and we might have something for you".

The American public has a love-hate relationship with the Cowboys. And no player best symbolizes that than Tony Romo.

I can believe there's a bidding war for him. As I've said before, he's a Cowboy. He has personality, charm and wit. And he's Hispanic.

I don't think he gets elevated to the top seat yet. But I believe someone has taken an interest in him and believes he has what it takes to succeed on a level that Aikman has succeeded.

I'm not sure three offers necessarily denotes a bidding war. It could just be three offers.

The offers were probably offers for an interview "If you retire, call me and we might have something for you".

Al Michaels, the voice of NBC's Sunday Night Football, says he has never talked to Tony Romo about his interest in broadcasting. Still, Michaels believes the Cowboys' backup quarterback would make an ideal network analyst.

"If I was in the position to hire, he would be my No. 1 draft choice among active players," Michaels said in a telephone interview Tuesday.
"Even though he doesn't have the pedigree, people know Tony," Michaels said. "You sit with Tony Romo and you learn a lot of things about football."

Michaels has sat with Romo plenty of times. The Cowboys are a Sunday Night Football staple. Before almost every game, Michaels and his partner Cris Collinsworth have met with Romo. Michaels said Romo has exhibited knowledge of the game, a strong personality and a great sense of humor. All are necessities for an NFL analyst's chair, Michaels said.

How stupid would they look if they cut Romo and he leads Houston to a SB right up the street

They would deserve it.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

I need him to go to the AFC badly, texans or denver.

That way he can torch tom shady in the afc championship and I can quit hearing about tom this tom that.

It'll become "Tom got beat by the better QB"

 

[dogunwo]

Some guys are made for the booth...

Emmitt Smith sure wasn't.

 

[TRUTH87]

Emmitt Smith sure wasn't.

reminds me of nate and how bad hes on radio hahahah

 

[MRV52]

How about Romo kicking Buck to Baseball?

Who would hold Troy's pocket?

Could you imagine the headlines if Romo did beat Brady in the playoffs???

 

[CCBoy]

Trade Tony Romo, this year's first round, and a player such as Leary after resigned.

 

[manster4ever]

Cant see it happening this year

Meh, we will have to see. This guy isn't going to play for the Browns or Jets IMO. JJ won't do him like that and he won't accept it. So that leaves only a few teams: Houston, KC and Denver. Buffalo? Maybe but I doubt it. He can win a SB with Houston or Denver IMO. Time will tell.

 

[Melonfeud]

They would deserve it.

Double x 42%

Fish on the Fan said the other day Romo has options. He said if he doesn't go to a contending team he will hang them up and head to the broadcast booth. Supposedly ESPN, Fox, and CBS all have offers on the table with CBS wanting him as the #1 team to pair with Nantz, which would mean Simms out. They also like the idea of pairing him with Nantz at the Masters, etc.

Just thought I would pass that along. Romo has the life.

Wouldn't be a better idea to stay with the Cowboys and collect the 14 million for next season?
