Romo to have "significant say" in where he goes

Of course he'll have say, but I'm sure it's only to a point. If, say, another team offered a first rounder for him, while the Broncos didn't, I doubt he's going to the Broncos. lol
Exactly. He might have a say but the Cowboys should have the final say. I just hope Jerry can put his feelings aside and make a trade for the good of the team.
 
If there is a trade, Romo will go where Dallas will get the best value, so I don't know what significant say Romo has but if he wants to go to Denver and they offer a third round pick for him and Cleveland offers a first round selection, Romo is going to Cleveland

That statement is total BS. Romo will not go to Cleveland at all. He would just retire and all his cap hit would hit next year
causing big problems for Jerry. Jerry is not going to even try sending Romo to a team like Cleveland. Romo only has a couple
of years to go to a contending team and get his SB. He is not going to a loser team. His wife wouldn't let him. Jerry
will try hard to get his "adopted son" a chance at a ring.

You guys need to learn something. Romo can nix any trade to any team he doesn't like. He can retire any time next season and all his cap hits at one time.
Tony has a lot of say and his agent will say it for him.

And that's his right, he can retire and he won't have a chance at a ring....Football is a business, Romo is an asset,if he wants to have a chance to start somewhere next year and wants a trade, he has no say where he goes, Dallas will take the best offer that works for them, not Tony........His wife won't let him???, what world do you live in????

Well if they want to trade him to Cleveland then he won't have a chance for a ring so he might as well retire. If they can't work out a trade to a contending team then they will release him.

So do the Cowboys.

If the Cowboys decide in the off season that they would like to trade Romo and there isn't a deal they like, Romo will have two options left for him, retire or be the most expensive backup next year for the Cowboys, because I don't see the Cowboys releasing him....too much of a cap hit
 
I still think Tony ends up getting released. Only a desperate team would trade a high pick for him knowing he's likely to be released anyway. Also, it could be easily argued that, unless we get a high pick, releasing him is more beneficial to the team anyway, as the cap savings for next season would be higher than if he was traded.

There would be dead money, but the overall cap savings for releasing him are still pretty massive.

Agreed.

I wouldn't be shocked at anything.

Heck someone could even trade a player for him.


That's actually what I'm hoping.

I think we would get better value if we got a player like Sheldon Richardson more so than a 3rd round pick.

If teams offer and 1st or 2nd then go for it.

I think the only team that would offer a first would be the Cardinals because that is the only chance that they could get him.

If you're an AFC team the price will be lower.

We save 25 mill in cap space if we cut him. Cutting him is a good option because it opens up quite a bit of space.
 
What's the confusion? Why give a superbowl contending team a piece that they are missing, which is quarterback, when we have superbowl aspirations of our own? Why would we significantly strengthen an already strong team?
So you're saying that Romo should have a say in where he goes, but not if that team has SB asperations?
 
I think it's Broncos or Cardinals. Broncos makes more sense, given that they're in the AFC. And I think it's for a pick who's value escalates based on performance. Tony's too good a player to think that nobody would snap him up before he got to the open market, if possible. Jerry'd give Tony right of refusal anyway, because that's the way he does these things. Maybe teams wait it out and see if we just release him outright, but as valuable as QBs are, I"m not sure it's a lock we don't keep Tony another year. It's pretty unlikely, obviously, but I think it's possible. I can't imagine we want to see Tony as a free agent going to a legit NFC competitor if we can help it.
 
It sucks but what can we do? Romo isn't going to sit behind Dak when he's a top 5 QB when healthy. I hope he does well wherever he goes if he goes.
I hope he does well too.

Reality: Dak is the future and the future is NOW. Tony is done as a Cowboy. This is nothing new to me. I've been saying it since the preseason.

I wish Tony well wherever he goes to squeeze another year or two out of his career.
