The Romo market just went up

[DFWJC]

So you're comparing Ratliff and Orton's situation to this one...oookkkayyyy

I really don't care if other players are paying attention, other than it is sending the wrong message. They paid attention to Jay Ratliff and Kyle Orton too. If we let Romo walk all we do is look stupid to other organizations and that is far more important than a ficticious player looks at us.

Steven Jones has been getting more and more influence in the decision making as does Will McClay. I doubt either of them would support giving Romo away, much like we refused to over pay to move up in the draft for excessive compensation.

good for you

I already said this is not a big part of this but that good-will does factor in...even if only slightly.
All am saying is don't be surprised if they let him walk.
Anyone who thinks Jerry doesn't want to do right by Tony, after all they've been through and after having to tell him he can't fairly compete for a job that he very well could win a fair competiton...is delusional.

hey...jmo

 

[Verdict]

fwiw
Colin Cowerd thinks Denver is a bad idea for Romo. Good for Denver but bad for Romo.

quote..
“It would not be my choice. Denver has a defensive-minded head coach. He is a rookie head coach. Outside of their center, they have a weak offensive line, and that division is tough. Derek Carr twice a year, Kansas City’s loaded roster twice a year, and Philip Rivers has always moved the football on Denver.

"I get Denver wanting Tony, but that’s the toughest division in football, you have a bad offensive line. You have a rookie, defensive head coach, and the November-December weather is rough."
--------------------------------------
He likes Houston much better for Tony and I agree.

Cowherd: Houston is a much better destination for Romo
“If you go to Houston, you get a veteran — not a rookie. A veteran offensive coach. You get a tremendous defensive roster like Denver. You get better offensive receivers, weaker division, you play inside, and you’re playing in nobody’s shadow. There’s no pressure in Houston.

"There’s pressure with John Elway in Denver to win, because they’ve already done it multiple times. And if you don’t win in Denver, you’re a ‘failure.’ Even if you get close in Houston, you’re a success.

"‘Well Colin, Peyton Manning chose Denver!’ It was different. At the time, Oakland was terrible, now they may be the second-best team in the AFC. When Peyton Manning chose Denver, Kansas City was terrible, they were 2-14. Denver had a very good offensive line, not a weak one. And you were replacing Tim Tebow! So your entry point for Peyton Manning was completely different.”


But there are big obstacles in both scenarios

Houston would be stupid not to offer a 1st for Romo.

 

[Verdict]

Denver or Houston should be willing to give up at least a first to get Romo. They would be stupid not to. Denver might have an edge in that they have Simien to offer in a trade as a backup to Dak. Simien might be better than anyone else available in free agency..... cheap.

If couch owners want to say other wise, fine.

Yes, I am comparing the situations the same. In the prior two situations we allowed players to hold us hostage. We can't allow that to happen. I realize Romo isn't the same ******* that those two guys were, but the compensation is the issue.

Don't you think Romo has meant just a little more to this franchise over his career than Orton and Ratliff?
Come on. It's not remotely the same.
But those guys were kind trying to screw us anyway.
In this case, Romo is kind of the one being told to grab his ankles. he has said nothing negative and loves the Cowboys, but he does have right to want to compete somewhere if not allowed to here.

It'll be great if we can get compensation and all parties end up fairly happy.
Guess we'll see

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

If Jerry releases Romo then he is the ****tiest GM in all of football.

Right. After being the best GM in the league now if he cuts a overpriced Romo he's the worst. As if Jerry wouldn't trade him if teams wanted him.

The compensation is the money you save getting rid of him.

The vast majority of people out there...agent, GMs, etc....all say maybe a mid rounder...maybe. And then would it even be worth the bother vs just getting it over and leaving on good terms.
The only place anyone would even dare to say he'd get a 1st rounder is in a forum like this.

What about doing right by the team that has given Romo the opportunity to start and boat loads of money?

 

[Sydla]

Houston would be stupid not to offer a 1st for Romo.

I suspect Houston would be stupid to offer a first. Because I think given the market, that would be overpaying for Romo.

Now, I would love to see Houston do that.

 

[Sydla]

Right. After being the best GM in the league now if he cuts a overpriced Romo he's the worst. As if Jerry wouldn't trade him if teams wanted him.

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

 

[DFWJC]

He's kept his mouth shut and has taken the high road all the way. And I'd say he has done plenty right by the this team.
He's not trying to screw the team here. He just wants a fair shot at competing--if not here than somewhere on a decent team.

 

[DFWJC]

I guess none of knows.

The Dallas Morning News again said today that it's widely expected for Romo to get an outright release. That none of main teams will offer a ton....so for clean break, they just part ways and take the cap savings.
it's pretty much unanimous among insiders.
But if a team made us a decent offer, I think both Dallas and Romo would be happy.

Question is, why should the team do right by tony at the expense of what is best for the team?

Anyone unbiased can see the obvious answer:

The team should do what is best for the team but for a player at the expense of the team

I am not comparing the situations in terms of character. I agree that they are totally different n that respect.

I guess we will have to disagree on this point. I don't care what people are saying. If Jerry takes less than a first for Romo, then he got fleeced. A good GM would not let go of Romo for less than that.

 

[Alexander]

Denver or Houston should be willing to give up at least a first to get Romo. They would be stupid not to.

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?

Boy you are really going to be hating Jones when he releases him and gets zero for him.

 

[Nightman]

The compensation is the money you save getting rid of him.

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

 

[DFWJC]

Anyone unbiased can see the obvious answer:

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.
