The Romo market just went up

[KJJ]

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.

Romo showed the right attitude last season to be the backup because he didn't just want to cause a distraction and disrupt a great season. He put the team first. He doesn't want to spend another season as a backup. He's not staying around risking his health just to get another paycheck he wants to play and have an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl. As for Brett Favre he had a much greater legacy in Green Bay than Romo had with the Cowboys. Favre was not only the greatest QB to ever play for the Packers but arguably their greatest player other than maybe Reggie White. There's two QBs ranked ahead of Romo in Dallas.

While true his best chance of playing and winning a Championship may very well be in Dallas and ironically due to Injury. But I think you are right and it will never happen.

Could Romo redo his deal with the Cowboys to make it more tradeable? If possible, it seems like that would be good for both him and the Cowboys. Why wouldn't he do it? He's not going to get a large deal elsewhere.

Romo's best chance of winning a championship won't be in Dallas he'll be stuck on the sidelines backing up Dak which is why he won't be here.

There's been reports he might be willing to redo his contract to make him more tradable. The only reason he wouldn't do it is to be released and have a team either take on his current contract or work something out with them where he still gets paid well. Romo does have options outside of football he doesn't have to keep playing.

word is going around at the combine that new denver coach wants romo, and houston wants romo. as much smoke they were saying they wont trade for him i think dallas is going to end up getting a rd2 pick when its said and done. minimum round 3. maybe den comp pick

Thanks for the heads up. I think most people here are undervaluing Romo. If you are Denver or Houston and you have a very good team with a closing window of opportunity and no QB to get you to the super bowl what is a great QB worth?

He's worth a hell of a lot. If you knew getting a QB would get you to the super bowl would you give up a first round pick to get there? Of course you would. You would be an idiot not to!

Franchise QBs NEVER hit the market even if their team sucks! This is a once in 20 year type of thing for all of the stars to line up.

If the Cowboys piss this off they have missed the opportunity of a lifetime, sort of like the Herschel Walker deal.

Denver AND Houston could pencil themselves on to the super bowl by acquiring Romo. They would be fools not to pursue the hell out of him. Romo would likely be happy at either place.

Personally I think Houston is the front runner for Romo because they have never had a title, EVER. They have everything in place except the starting QB. They win even if they do not get to the super bowl because their fan base will go ape **** over getting Romo.

We will get a minimum of a first plus a conditional pick if we play our cards right on this. Only the Cowboys can **** this up.

they are saying den coach wants to move on from siemian and have romo be the bridge between now and lynch

by the way reading this on BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1's coverage. theyre at the combine and they are credible

Yes I saw the same thing earlier. We just have to have the balls to wait this out. There will be a bidding war, PLUS we have to be willing to keep Romo if things don't out. If we are willing to keep Romo and teams see that they will offer us a 1st and a second conditional pick the following year that I think will be something between a 5th if Romo doesn't play a certain percentage of the snaps, a 3rd if they team (likely Houston) goes to the super bowl and a 1st if they win the super bowl.

There might be some protection if Romo can't play that they get some compensation back.

Minimum of a first rounder and a conditional pick. LOL.

You chide people for undervaluing him but you overvalue him.

Latin was likely in the ballpark. 3rd rounder, maybe 2nd, and a conditional pick.

 

[Verdict]

Denver will not need Simone if they trade for Romo so they have him in trade and have that going for them. Houston will be desperate to put themselves on the map as a contender. I believe Houston will be the eventual destination for many reasons including proximity to Dallas and his family.

We will see who is closer to being right. I am not sure the Cowboys will play hard enough poker to get it done. Keep in mind that I negotiate for a living, every day.

The Cowboys hold ALL the cards and are negotiating from a position of strength which is the most important part of negotiation. The Cowboys just have to believe they are holding the cards they are actually holding.

 

[Verdict]

Only one team has Romo. One. Us.

There are NO acceptable substitutes for Romo. None.

Out of 32 teams only about 10 have a QB of Romos caliber (likely less). The rest have been desperately trying to get one.

When we were trotting out Chad Hutchinson and QuINTsy Carter and Ryan leaf what would we have given up to get Romo. Think this through.

What you do in real life has nothing to do with how football trades work. I negotiate in my job as well and I understand that you can negotiate all the heck you want but asset values have a ceiling. This notion that Romo is a first round talent that will net you a windfall if you just negotiate the right way is pretty far fetched.

You've basically created a dynamic where you won't be wrong. If Dallas trades him for a 3rd rounder and a conditional 2018 pick, you'll just claim they messed up and should have gotten a first rounder for him when he probably didn't have that value to begin with when you factor in age, injury history, etc.

The only way Romo nets a first rounder IMO is if there is a seismic shift, such as what happened to Minnesota last year where they lost Bridgewater right before camp and panicked and made a move for Bradford. In that type of scenario, then you might get a primo return for Romo. But if you move him before this draft, you likely aren't getting a 1st rounder and then a conditional pick that could result in another first rounder in 2018.

Frankly, if Denver called tomorrow and said we will give you a 2nd rounder in 2017 and a conditional pick that can range from the 4th to 2nd round in 2018, the Cowboys would be foolish to not take it.

Think this will get done quick. couple wks. i would think a team would want Romo in there learning the system to be ready to leaf at otas

 

[reddyuta]

At this point a realistic trade is a swap of 1st rd picks.
