We missed out on easy opportunity

[Eddie]

They have no signing bonus with Osweiler do deal with, they could just cut him with no cap hit and keep the 2nd round pick.

That's not true. The reason why the Texans tossed the 2nd rounder to the Browns was because the Browns agree to absorb the $16 signing bonus. The Browns will eat all $16 mil if they cut him ... which they may do.

 

[kevm3]

If the Texans and then possibly the Browns can shift Osweiler and get picks in return, and yet we can't get anything in return for Romo, something is off.

They would need to agree to transfer the prorated portion of Romo's signing bonus over to their books ... thus freeing us from the dead money.

No one is going to do that.

 

[Longboysfan]

They did it to get rid of that crappy qb and open up money for Romo.

They could have just released him.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

They were trying to get rid of him as soon as the ink was dry on that trade with Houston...lol

It was funny because their media person was talking with one of the sports channels or newspapers and they were bragging about getting a good draft pick but never mentioned getting Brock.

Have to suck to be him over the last couple years.

Go from Backup
To starter and doing well
To backup again
To acting made for being made backup and getting a good contract on another team
To being on the other team and sucking to being backup again
to having a team trade you and picks away just to get you off their salary cap
To the team who just got you already trying to trade you.

Hell of a couple of years for him lol...dude is going to need therapy soon.

An undetermined middle round draft pick > Brock

Sad..lol

 

[Zekeats]

Worst post of the year.....and last year

 

[Eddie]

They could have just released him.

Then they would be on the books for $16 million in dead money.

By giving Brock and a 2nd rounder to the Browns, Cleveland agrees to absorb the $16 mil, and Houston is freed from the dead money.

thought process:
1. it appears we are not using our cap space.
2. we have easily access more cap space by restructuring Dez (~$8M) and TCrawford (~$5M)
3. if the FO intends to use all the cap space, then of course, do not do the trade.
4. we have plenty of cap space next year if the FO wants to do anything.
5. it appears the FO wants to get their premium players from their premium picks. so here is a chance at a premium pick in 2018 - 2017 is better but 2018 is not that far off.

i dont buy enough cars to get your joke.

please use common sense.
pretty please. on behalf of everyone.

the team will not enter next year with the current roster.
every player added that is not a rookie minimum and has a deal for 2018 will impact that cap, so no, we will not have 50 million.

this deal was good for CLE because they had 100 MILLION in cap space. Trading their hoarded cap space for a 2nd was smart.
Dallas has ~8m in space.
You don't flip a switch on Dez or Witten to eat 18m in dead cap this year at the rate of a 2nd.

I think the Cowboys would. I think the Cowboys love Dez as much as you do. If he tore his ACL he'd be right back here. I think its going to take a lot of Dez not to be here.

it's a tough call IMHO.
at that point all the gtd money is paid and Dez would be on a long string of injury plagued seasons.
you'd be deciding between a 2 year 25m deal for him or moving on.

again you don;t restructure every one and this is why.
at some point you go to the well once too often and end up with jay ratliff.

so it's all checks and balances.

sorry but after romo is gone, we will have 50 mil in 2018 minus whatever FAs are signed.
the FO appears to be shying away from any significant FAs, so most of the 5o mil will not be used unless there is a surprise.
the 50 mil # already incorporated the draft picks.

if you are not going to use your cap space anyway, why not flip $16mil for a 2nd round pick.
that is their apparent way towards improvement.

Well. He has the money for it.

Maybe he can file a claim on his NFL insurance.

It is a football related injury.
