Romo trade compensation (per Schefter)

[RandyOh]

No way is it a 4th. a 3rd is way more likely with a chance for a 2nd. Especially if its most likely Denver trading for him who will be picking towards the end of the round. Also with the news of the cap rising, Romos contract looks more reasonable and easier to absorb. Who knows. Maybe a 1st from a team like Denver may not be a stretch after all.

7th round pick straight up that turns into our next ten 1st rounders if he wins the Super Bowl.

No one will trade much more than what Schefter is saying for Romo as an offseason acquisition. You have to hope for a Minny type situation in training camp or at the very start of the season.

Comparing Bradford's situation with Romo's is like comparing apples to oranges. Bradford is much younger than Romo and hasn't reached his ceiling. Bradford wasn't coming off a couple of broken collarbones and a broken back. He hadn't missed the better part of two seasons. Although he's had injury issues, he was relatively healthy last season and was playing excellent football the final month of the season. Romo will be 37 next season and carries a huge risk. He hasn't made it through two games the last three times he's seen the field. He needs rest days to try and keep him healthy and no one knows where his game or health is at this point.

He's had three different back injuries since 2013 and no team is going to give up a premium pick for a QB who's missed a lot of games the past two seasons and has the injury concerns he does. Minn was desperate with only two weeks before the opener due to Bridgewater's injury and saw an opportunity to bring in a 20 something QB who's shown potential and still has room to grow.

One good hit could have Romo back on the sidelines with another injury. He's become injury prone and can't take a good hit anymore. He could start having issues with his back so he'll be a huge gamble for any team that signs him and they'll need a solid contingency plan at QB in the event he goes down with another injury.

MINN didn't pay a 1st for Bradford because of his age........they paid because they were a playoff team without a QB....they paid for 1 year, maybe 2 but they were desperate

IMO there are no Goffs and Wentzi or even Prescotts in this draft.......teams will want to settle their QB situation before the draft and DAL will have to make them pay

 

[Killerinstinct]

The Eagles caught the Vikings in stupido mode.

Teams desperate for QB's will do stupid things.

 

[Bigdog]

No thanks. We need at least a 2nd.

I am going for a first or I will keep him

They're weren't going to pay a #1 and a #4 for an aging beat up QB who could be one sack away from being shelved again. They saw Bradford as a young QB who hasn't reached his ceiling yet and who was playing excellent football at the end of last season. No one knows if there's any Prescott's in next Aprils draft, no one knew that last April.

Agreed. But the beanpole will sign up for a week of windmill tilting then put you on his list if you're not careful.

I'd rather keep him and let them compete in the off-season if that's the case.

Why? So we can have a bloated salary for our backup? Makes zero sense. Move on, get your pick and begin to get his terrible contract off the books. After the Seattle injury, that needs to be the last we ever see of him here. We have seen that song and dance too many times. Move forward with Dak and get the most you can out of him with his rookie deal. And use Romo's salary that will go off the books to fill other needs. That might be the worst contract in football under the circumstances and the value you get from it.

 

[BigStar]

Dak has had one poor game all season and we all knew it was bound to happen. It wasn't all his fault, Dez didn't provide him any help with screwed up routes and fumbling away what would have a much needed 3rd down conversion. Even if Dak does continue to struggle, he'll learn from this season and for him to take another step he needs to go into camp as the starter and get all the starting reps. We committed to him this season and we have to show confidence in him.

It wouldn't be a healthy situation for Romo to have to battle for his job in camp when he never lost it on the field. It would create some tension that wouldn't happen if you had two young QBs battling for the job. Romo isn't happy as it is and making him compete for the starting job in camp next season would lead to a very unhealthy situation in my opinion that could have an adverse affect on team chemistry. Once Romo held that press conference saying this is Dak's team we can't go back to him.

Hard to argue against much of your post tbh. I still believe in Dak after what he has shown as a rook either way, the fan selfishness wants higher compensation; like we have a say or something. But knowing JJ, I agree w/DallasEast's post saying he's likely to be released before holding him until next season or by receiving minimal compensation. JJ doesn't tend to use a poker face in these circumstances from past history; Aikman/Emmitt were cut after wanting to continue, etc.

I've dealt with him plenty.......lol

If say Denver makes it to the divisional championship and barley loses then i could see them willing to give up a 2nd or even 1st if desperate enough to have their QB. They still have 2 season before any of their core defensive or offensive players contracts are up. They could see Romo as a re-opening of a window that was starting to close.

Romo's contract has been awesome.......his cap hit was never above 12m until this year when it was 14.9m.....get your facts straight before you go off

The odds favor Romo being released which will open up the pool of teams that will be interested, giving him the opportunity to pick a good situation for himself much like Peyton Manning did after his release.

Releasing him is the worst possible course of action.......just rip up a draft pick for old time's sake

Denver gave up a lot to move back into the first round for Paxton Lynch so you can forget about them forking over a #1 or even a #2 for Romo. Denver has two young QBs and Romo would be a progress stopper. The more I look at it, I think AZ would be the most interested in Romo and have the best chance of rebounding next season. They've shown a willingness to go after aging QBs like Palmer who looks to be on the outs, so that could be where Romo lands.

Releasing Romo gives him an opportunity to pick a team and they'll be several interested if he's free agent. Jerry's not going to take a mid to late round pick from a crappy team where Romo would have no chance to succeed. He's going to give Romo a chance to pick his team and AZ would be a good landing spot for him.

 

[lukin2006]

If the team has another December collapse then Romo will be in camp, because the owner just can't come to grips that JG and Lineham are average coach's...

 

[DFWJC]

lol...seemed a bit rich.

Any 1st rounder seemed high, but it's worth reminding some that all 1st rd values aren't nearly the same.
The Vikes 1st rounder is probably about 1/3rd the value of Cleveland's this year, for example.

If the Vikings make the playoffs, they won't feel AS bad giving up the 21-25th pick or so.

 

[cowboys1981]

As a GM if you want a player on my team that boosts your chances of making a SB, then I want a nice compensation in return.
