The Romo market just went up

[Texas_Pete]

 

[Verdict]

They would be stupid to not give up a first round choice for an oft-injured QB that you basically are renting for at most two years?

They would be stupid to piss off an opportunity to win a super bowl because they don't have a QB. If the Texans give up three firsts to get Romo and he won them a super Bowl would they do that? Hell yeah.

Romo can play for another 3 years or so. He has only been injured because the refs have refused to protect him like they have Rodgers. The first collar bone break was a pile drive into the turf. A knee to the back could break any QBs vertabrae.

Him being brittle is essentially a fallacy. If Romo plays for Houston pencil them in for the Super Bowl. The will be there next February.

LOL.

You realize how god awfully silly this sounds, right?

First of all, Rodgers takes a pounding. So the idea that he never really gets hit because the refs protect him is a fallacy. He gets hit. Two, even if the refs tended to give Romo calls, he's still going to end up taking hard hits. To suggest otherwise is silly. Brady is protected and he still takes rough hits, even some illegal ones, from time to time.

The idea that Romo would be so much healthier if the league called more roughing the passer calls on him to protect him is bizarre.

And the comment about him not being brittle is chuckleworthy is hilarious. He's not played in pretty much two years from injuries. Throw in his age, the fact he's had surgeries on his collarbone and back and you have the exact definition of brittle at this point.

That is exactly the same if you cut or trade him...... all the new money comes off either way

You do lose the benefits of the June 1 designation though.

and if you use the June 1st designation you don't get any cap relief until June 2nd, so it is useless

The writer...some random guy with the handle VAFan (assume a fan in Virginia) seems to agree with some on this forum....but none of the insiders, analysts or GMs out there.
Does not mean he's wrong by any means. It's just not what many think will happen.

All of us fans DO hope Dallas lands a huge bounty for Romo. I just don't personally expect it.

Just clarying that it's not exactly the same, bk, not assessing value.

DAL gets the same exact benefits releasing Romo in August as they do next week.... why continue helping other teams improve at our expense

you are right....... it is way worse to release him now

So, if they wait and still end up not getting anything..or little..for Romo (or if they just release him in August outright) they manage to not only screw him in almost the biggest way possible, but also lose their chance of at least getting the extra cap savings from the pre-June designation....which they may or may not need to use.

Hey, you're not alone in thinking "F Romo, we got our pounds (tons) of flesh from him, now let's squeeze every ounce of marrow remaining" ...even if it's a late 5th rounder.

You are entitled to that line of thinking, of course.
There are several others here that agree with you.

I don't want to make Tony's post Cowboy life easier..... he wants to beat DAL and win the Super Bowl

I laugh at Cowboy fans that want Romo to achieve that goal somewhere else

I am not some bleeding heart liberal that roots for all humanity ....I am a Cowboy fan and want whats best for DAL............Romo has been paid over 140m for his contributions.......that is more than enough for me not to give a crap about his post-Cowboy career

Dallas also tried to trade Ware, but they were only getting low ball offers either due to his salary, age, or injuries.
They decided he was long time contributor and heart of the team and that screwing him was not cool.
They released him and let him go where he wanted and was wanted.

As for not wanting Romo to succeed somewhere else...laugh away at us that do.
Usually, not all of the time, those not wanting him to succeed were not big fans of his here in the first place.
It's your right

The rest of league is paying attention as well...especially other players.

Exactly, New England takes zero **** from players and is team first. As a result, when a player wants a great shot at a ring, they go to the Pats and fall in line.

Players go to teams like the Cowboys (hopefully of the past...Marcellus Wiley loves to brag about this endlessly) to get paid

Do whats best for the team, always, and there will be no shortage of players willing to play for a contender

I would rather keep Romo than releasing him for nothing...........he is more valuable to us than cap space we won't spend..........is that screwing him too..... go start a fan club if you care so much

New England is a good example of a team not doing that. Not many (or any) others.
They have had great success. I'd say it's unique there. Once you win SBs, you will get the benefit of the doubt for awhile.

Teams should not be pushovers. Nobody is saying that.
But giving guys like Orton or Wiley extra juice is not in the same league as Romo's very unique situation.

Even then, obviously, if we get a great offer, then take it. I just don't see us trying to squeeze a low pick out of some team if it damages the relationship that's been built over 14 years.

I love how Romo is every team's secret ingredient to win a Super Bowl for everyone else, even though he did not even get to sniff one in Dallas. All of these teams have their own flaws, just as Dallas had for people to use to excuse away his lack of a ring.

Romo can play for another 3 years or so. He has only been injured because the refs have refused to protect him like they have Rodgers. The first collar bone break was a pile drive into the turf. A knee to the back could break any QBs vertebrae

.

It was not a "knee to the back", it was him falling on his butt and getting a spinal compression fracture, which is more common in the elderly than athletes in their prime.

Him being brittle is essentially a fallacy.

Based on what? His stellar record of health the past three years?

 

[Nightman]

Who do you want ......KMoore?????

Loyalty works both ways....Romo could take 5m a year and be the backup here for 3-4 years

But NO ......he wants to be the hero and go get killed for a ring he couldn't win here

Jones has shown amazing patience with players. Ratliff practically threatened him with physical violence and Jones looked the other way.

Yet him releasing an expensive and aged player is going to make them think twice before signing?

Dallas is not a destination ala the Patriots, but I hardly think they have a rep league wide for being cheap or insensitive to the needs of their players.

Listening to Elway he said you have to look down the road a few years when making a decision to bring in a veteran. If they bring Romo in that's going to stop the progress of both their young QBs who Elway said they like. They may have to get rid of one of those QBs, most likely Siemian to make room for Romo. With Romo's health concerns that's going to be a tough decision for Denver. Granted Manning had health concerns but he also played in a couple of SB's, winning a championship and had reached title games. Romo doesn't have near the skins on his wall that Manning had and he's had several different injuries the past few years including 3 different back injuries.
