Romo trade compensation (per Schefter)

[xwalker]

I'm trying to be fair to Romo but true lol. Could u imagine if we end up with the Pick Philly traded to the Browns? Philly fans would riot.

Most bad teams have the potential to be good the following year in the salary cap era.

Cleveland might be the exception, but they could sign Leary and put him next to Joe Thomas. That would be a good start for an OL in front of Romo. If the Cowboys move on from Free the Browns could sign him also. They probably have cap space to add a other OL and they could draft some.

Romo and a solid OLine could give then a winning season.

Any other team in need of a QB could be potential playoff contenders with Romo if they make certain to get have a good OLine.

I'm just using Denver as an Example because they are the most used example for Romos trade and most likely the place Romo selects. I didn't say Denver would be the only team. I even named 7 other potential teams in another post who could scoop up Romo if he was to a June 1st cut, but that could be the reason why a Team like Denver(their that better?) would go ahead and trade for him instead. Especially when 2 of the teams i named are just as set up as Denver and in the AFC in both Jets and Bills.

I'm just saying that Denver or no one else will give up a #1 or #2 for Romo and I won't be wrong. Denver's QB situation is far from bad, they have two young QBs who they've won 8 games with this season. Both QBs have solid potential and Romo would only impede their progress. Keep an eye on AZ, the odds favor them.

When the Cowboys say they desire to do right by Romo I think it means with an AFC team in mind.


I can't imagine Dallas letting him go to a team where he would be instant competition.

That's Interesting because if they are afraid he beats us they must think he's better than Dak if that's the case he should stay n be our starter. Romo will go where he wants to go he will retire if need be to accomplish that goal. He will look for a team that give him the best shot at a SB and pray he gets to see the Cowboys in that game so he can let Jerry Stephen Garrett know they made a huge mistake. That's what a true competitor would do any less n I loose respect for him.

You are 100% wrong......Romo is a difference maker........what you are suggesting is we tear up a first round pick because it isn't worth the time and effort it would take to wait for the best offer

We get no benefits by acting quickly..........even cutting him won't help until June 2nd.......so wait and let the market develop......that is unless someone overwhelms us in March and gives us picks for 2017

 

[KJJ]

You are 100% wrong.

This coming from a guy who told me I would be wrong about Greg Hardy. lol Go argue with someone you can actually win an argument against if you can even find anyone.

 

[BoysWin]

No thanks. We need at least a 2nd.

For a 36 yr old.man turning 37. DAL need to rework his contract and keep ROMO for life.

Denver is in a position to win right now. like i said in a previous reply they have 2 season before their defensive stars become UDFA and will be looking to get paid for the 2 superbowl appearances and the superbowl they won. If multiple teams start to show interest. Especially teams who are just as built to win right now as them in the Jets, the bills, the Vikings, and the Cardinals you keep pointing out. With another in their divisional rival Chiefs who i have read that if they dont win a playoff game with their amazing roster then they could be looking for another QB who isn't a game manager. Then maybe the Broncos go all out once again like they did with their defensive free agent signings in attempt to win another one before going into a new era. again im not saying we can easily squeeze a 2nd or let alone a 1st round pick but if a bidding war does break out for Romo. Denver could loosen up with picks. and yes you very much could be wrong. If they feel Romo could win them another superbowl(or 2) while their young QB or QB's develop into the QBs they want like Romo and Rodgers did then they would very much pull the trigger. Denver has already shown they will go all out to win. They felt Brock wasnt the answer so they let him go to Houston where he very much has struggled. they knew what they was letting walk.

Instead of blowing smoke, search my posting history and feel free to dig up all the times you claim I've been wrong. The only one who ends up being WRONG is you.

I've already made my case, we'll find out this offseason who knew what they were talking about. Not saying Denver isn't a possibility but they're not forking over a high draft pick.

Browns may have like 70 mil in cap space. they could easily absorb Romos contract then sign Leary and Larry Warford who has been an absolute road grader at OG. Giving them 3 very solid Oline starters(along with Thomas). I highly doubt it happens but dangle a top 10 pick in Jerrys face and he might bite.

There are a dozen teams that will want Romo

I've already made my case, we'll find out this offseason who knew what they were talking about.

you seem like the guy who puts money on red or black instead of on lines, corners or individual numbers in Vegas at Roulette then tell your friend you was killing it at the table. No duh you took the most likely to happen. I even stated in my posts that its doubtful to happen. I just don't think its impossible for Denver( or another team) to give up a premium pick.

 

[RandyOh]

I agree. few with winning records may dump their current QB to get Romo in the Chiefs, Bills, and Dolphins. Possibly the Texans who already turning on Brock

Goff isn't looking so hot, Cutler is out and Palmer isn't a sure bet

True. Palmer has fallen off a cliff. Vikings are another one. They may not see Bradford as a solution.

 

[dogunwo]

I think it will be a conditional pick as well.

@zrinkill doesn't believe it but I think it's a good bet that if he gets traded then it will be for a conditional pick because that is what was done with Favre.

What team should we put a poison pill in there for? Remember that weird clause in the Farve trade that if the Jets traded him to the Vikings they had to surrender like three firsts or something like that?

 

[dogunwo]

I understand. Others will agree with you.

I'm going by my opinion of previous transactions involving past Cowboy players on their way out of Dallas and how the general manager, Jerry Jones, helped facilitate them. In my opinion, Romo will wish to leave Dallas during the offseason and Jones will assist him in a fashion beneficial to his franchise and the player. The future shall shed light on the actual details of any transaction that may take place.

Back to your points. I think all of them are valid. However, I think all the nonsense associated with The Statement, and Romo essentially saying his time is done in Dallas, has pretty much erased any and all possibilities of Romo aiding Dallas this season forward barring an unfortunate injury to Prescott. I could be completely wrong but the only possibility I see Romo temporarily or permanently replacing (e.g. not substitution) Prescott for a series, a quarter, a half, a game, etc. is if Prescott regresses into an Akili Smith type. Anything's possible and Prescott has struggled lately but nothing I have seen from him so far suggests to me that's ever going to remotely happen.

Great points. Also, potential free agents and their agents are always watching how you handle players in different situations.

I don't lose money but you seem like a guy who does because your take on me is more wrong than your take on the Romo situation. I thinks it's impossible that Denver gives up a #1 or #2 on Romo based on everything I said. No team with a couple of solid young prospects at the QB position is going to invest a premium pick on a one year stopgap. They're looking for a 2-3 year minimum for that kind of investment and 2-3 years would hinder the development of Lynch who needs game reps. The Broncos are 8-5 with the QBs they have and Romo would be a progress stopper. As a free agent Denver might give Romo a season but I can't imagine him wanting to go to a team where he's just going to be a stopgap for a year or two at best. In AZ he won't be keeping the seat warm for a young QB, he'll be the starter for as long as he can stay healthy and play effectively.

If the Cowboys didn't lose last week and were playing better they could have showcased Romo at the end of the season. If he played well and showed he could take some hits and get up from them, it might lure a team into offering a high pick for him. Go back to the Joe Montana/Steve Young situation, Montana who lost his job due to injury was able to play one game. He played so well it got KC to offer a #1 for him. The last anyone saw of Romo in a regular season game he was melting down vs Carolina 13 months ago. It's not if Romo gets injured, it's when and for how long. He's missed games the past four seasons, which is why no one will offer a high pick for him.

No one knows where his game is right now or if he can withstand a good hit, which is why a team that signs him better have a solid backup plan. Romo is going to have to learn a new system and he's not going to be able to afford to take days off to rest like with the Cowboys. He's going to have to get a number of snaps in preseason which will increase the chances of him going down with another injury. One more "significant" injury will very likely to retire him which increases the risk with him. Some just keep ignoring the injury concerns with him but those concerns are real and make signing him a big gamble.
