The Romo market just went up

[DFWJC]

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

So now you want him to settle for just taking a paycheck and sitting the bench and not following his dream of competing for a title?

Jeez bk.

Just admit we aren't on the same page...without any more fan club insults....and let's move on.

The odds of you winning a Powerball are better than that happening. There's not a chance in hell he's doing that when he can still play and is better than a lot of starting QBs in the league. The issue with him is health not his ability.

We're getting a banquet of draft picks.

What may be true today, may not be true tomorrow.

Romo isn't going to want to be a backup and the Cowboys aren't going to have him and Dak compete for the starting job in training camp. Those who have that thought in their heads are dreaming. Romo's in no condition, age and health wise to withstand the rigors of having to complete for the job. It will leave him susceptible to injury because he can't be given days off, competing for a job. He'll have to play a number of snaps in preseason which will increase the odds of injury.

The team was terrified to play him in the season finale, he had to talk the coaches into playing him that one series. Dak being prepared as the starter all spring and summer will make him better and more prepared than he was heading into last season. Romo doesn't want to waste another season standing on the sidelines, he makes too much money to do that and isn't going to take a pay cut to do it. He's not going to be here in 2017 unless he wants to coach.

He'd be an upgrade if he were to assume the H.C. position

He could end up being the Cowboys next HC someday.

 

[visionary]

But he is part of the team...until he's not. He's been a big part of the heart and soul of this team for a long time.

Anyway, part of this is that some of you think Dallas can get big compensation. The general consensus (outside of fan forums) is that they might get a 4th of 5th rounder and it's cleaner to just waive him.

We'll all be thrilled if Dallas get big compensation. All I've saying is people should not be surprised if it doesn't end up that way.

Fine if you and others disagree.

That general consensus is what is being put out by other teams

Why would Denver or Houston say they would give up a Rd 1 pick? It is crazy to use that as the basis for negotiation or assessment of value

It is very obvious he has tremendous value for those teams

It is not complicated
The ONLY argument that I've heard is that Jerry will do what us best for Romo or that he will release Romo for "goodwill" . Both if those are idiotic ideas put out by the Romo camp because logically neither makes any sense further team

Cowboys should do what is best for the Cowboys and if we can get compensation for Tony then clearly that would be better than no compensation

To do this, Jerry has to say we will keep Romo or not trade him for anything less than a first

Then go from there

 

[Verdict]

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

I don't know if this is directed at me, or not, but if so it is a misplaced point. I am as big of a Romo fan as anyone here. I wouldn't let him go because I am not convinced that he isn't as good as Dak, and I am high on Dak too.

Dak is the future, I'm just not sure it SHOULD be now.

Thats true, but Ware is not a franchise QB who is arguably a top 5 QB. If Jerry releases Romo for zero compensation it would be one of his biggest failures as GM unless Romo cannot pass a physical, which alters the situation dramatically. The opposing teams will put Jerry and Steven to the test hoping to get them to jettison Romo for no compensation. The Cowboys have to be willing to eat Romo's salary and opposing teams need to KNOW we will do that in order to get maximum compensation for Romo.

No, it wasnt directed at you.
I know you've supported Tony.

I wish we could get a 1st for him lime you hope. Just dont see it happening.
Maybe it will

Thanks for your post. I know reasonable minds vary on the compensation, if any that Romo will command in a trade scenario. If I didn't get a first for Romo he would be a Cowboy next year. I realize it wouldn't help our cap, but we would have the best QB tandem in a QB driven league. It might also drive the price up on him as the year goes on, or next off season.

I love me some Romo, but not more than I love the Cowboys. Romo has been compensated gerously and fairly to be a member of the Cowboys. I would love for what is best for Romo to also be what is also best for the Cowboys, but if not Romo's wants come behind the good of the club. JMHO and the way it should be.

That is my entire point....why is it OK for Romo to be selfish but not DAL...it is a two way street

The best solution is a pay cut and Romo stays as the bak-up.... but Romo's ego says he has to go out and do somewhere else what he couldn't do here.... lead a team to the Super Bowl

 

[noshame]

This is definitely a 2 Twinkie deal now!

 

[pacy]

I would hate it. He is to nice.
Offensive Coordinator on the other hand...

I certainly wouldn't want him as our next head coach but can't rule it out with Jerry.

 

[plasticman]

The Patriot strategy is simple and the Cowboys should follow suit.

Acknowledging that quarterbacks get hurt in preseasons, they will simply hold on to him.

Eventually, somebody will lose their QB and this is when the value of a good young backup or old veteran will skyrocket, especially if that team perceives itself as being contenders.

Then again, the hurt quarterback could be Brady....or Dak. We would also feel pretty dumb if Dak went down a week after Romo was traded.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Apparently, according to some here, Jerry would cut Romo out of respect for him especially if the trade offers are low ball offers.

I can believe that. If we are talking about 6th or 7th round offers ok. If someone offered a 3rd.....Jerry would help pack his bags.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

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

Ok but in order to trade him you have to find someone willing to take on his contract. And if he's not traded I think its safe to say no one either wanted him or his contract.

I think this is similar but obviously not exactly like Brett Farve. Romo has a good legacy with the Cowboys and could still be a very usable part of this team as a back up. Obviously Farve didn't have the same situation were injury limited him as much as his attitude. But Romo has shown the right attitude to be very active back up in case of Dak going down. I think if he goes somewhere else like Farve he will probably not get where he wants to be or forced to do to much with his aging body and regret extending his career as a starter.

Now then will it happen that he stays, not a snow ball chance in Miami.
