Undisputed chimes in: Dez Romo trade chatter

[CowboyStar88]

On the surface, it's an idiotic idea. Add to that the fact that it came from McFlabb and it's borderline short bus.

But, if you remove the McFlabb variable and dig into the concept, it provokes thought.

I'm sorry my friend it only provokes thought if the person with the thought has an issue with Dez or Romo. If you look at the guys who support this idea they're the same guys slamming and kicking them every chance. Therefore it's an idea met with an agenda to prove they are right about something. You don't get rid of homegrown talent just because someone *thinks* that person could ruin chemistry when they've never spent 1 minute around the player or the team.

These thoughts should be easily and quickly dismissed especially with no sources or bases to stand on.

Let me ask u all this. would the idea of the Herschel Walker trade (before it happened maybe prior to october 89) be on a show like FS1 if it were around at the time? this is a thought project.

Re: trading Dez, anyway:

"That's actually the very first I've seen or heard of that," the Cowboys owner told KRLD-FM on Friday, according to Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. "That's absurd. We may have been blessed with our depth because we're having some young receivers come on, but make no mistake about it, Dez Bryant's a major difference-maker. We got a long way to go. He singularly can make a difference in big games. We're anxious to get him back.

"There are no plans, no thought, I've not even had a bad dream about trading him."

Trading Romo right now is a non-issue with the current contract. Despite what the most cable tv shows have to say about it. Never forget, those people are opportunistic sensationalists who get paid to take advantage of the gullible, over and over and over again.

Bleu my boy

You can't trade Romo that contract is crippling. Also that IMO is not in the deck of cards for multiple reasons. If Dak hits the rookie wall (which is a very real possibility) they can go to Romo and not skip a beat. Jerry IMO will not trade Romo he has a big spot for him and it's a respect thing.

As far as Dez goes we've never once heard anyone come out and say anything about Dez within that locker room we've always heard and seen that he is a stellar teammate. Let's not forget Dez was part of this chemistry when they went 2-1 and he's only 27 still considered one of the young guys. Let's not forget they just did a team dinner and party at Romo's I highly highly doubt there is any distraction or chemistry issues with either one of these guys. All you have to do is just open your eyes a little and see that what these guys are spewing is only for ratings, don't buy into any of it. Dez will def not be going anywhere Jerry didn't just pay him to move on from him. Jerry and co. Are not in the business of getting rid of homegrown talent that they've developed.

All strong points. Thanks.

So sharing for the sake of discussion makes one gullible?

That makes my insides hurt.

Very much so. Which also makes the idea of trading Romo and Dez foolish and any analyst who brings that up shows that they have no knowledge of how the salary cap works and that they are idiots at a profession they are supposed to be "experts" on. Next year however the dead money from Romo's contract won't be as bad as this year, but still won't be anything to sneeze at. We would really need an offer that knocks our socks off to justify cutting and or trading him in the off-season.

It does .. but more so with Romo given the state of the team and the dynamic of the qb position. I just feel like Dez is one of the most misunderstood players in the league in terms of how he's often criticized. I actually think he's a POSITIVE influence, even while injured. You can just tell when a guy bleeds silver and blue and loves his teammates. The minute I see him negatively effecting the team, I'll have to swallow the fan in me and concede an issue... I just don't see it. Teams fight for stud 27 year WR's in their prime. He just needs to shake the injury bug.

Media just wants to talk.

There is a better chance of Carson Wentz being traded than Romo or Dez.

Jerry doesn't trade players, especially star players. He is one of the most loyal guys in the biz. If we decide to move forward without either player in the offseason, Jerry will release them because he respects them.

Dez and Romo make us a better team. Besides, we are e going to need Dez Bryant. He is going to open up our offense so much more.

Sharing? Absolutely not. Believing it's legitimate? Of course.

Ok. I hear you leaving the Jim Carrey "So there's a chance" door open.

i understand what you are trying to do. i totally do. nothing wrong with discussion or dialogue for entertainment purposes. even if there is no truth in it.

Back in 89 this discussion would have more merit though. Contracts weren't as crippling and the salary cap didn't exist in the form we know it as today.

 

[Bleu Star]

Sharing? Absolutely not. Believing it's legitimate? Of course.

Can anyone that had responded thus far in this thread point me to any place where I said I believed this was a legit something to do? I believe the contrary (especially with Dez's ability to change games) but I guess no one read that.

Lol about the same chance as you winning the lottery and going on a date with Jennifer Lawrence. It's really a farfetched idea 1) because we would need such a grand slam offer to justify us taking Romo's cap hit and 2) what team is going to offer a grand slam deal for a 37 year old qb? Catch 22.

 

[Bleu Star]

Ok. So what I HEAR is that it's worthless to talk about it because it's not possible due to today's salary cap structures and, more precisely, the way these two contracts are structured.

but would have the thought have been shocking and people not believing in it? business aside.

long sharp claws around here. hahah. its how CZ rolls. why i love it.

I get what you're saying but Jerry did engineer the great trade robbery when we sent Herschel to Minny. So he's not completely insulated from entertaining such a thought.
