With the extra 5 million now what?

[dcjules]

Romo's release provides another 5 million or so to approx 8.5 million in cap space...does this allow us to get a "player" of some stature or just resign our own???

 

[Carson]

Resign a few of our own and a few cheap players in a few weeks.

 

[Sydla]

We aren't getting the $5MM.

The rumor is he's a June 1 cut which means we can't use his cap savings until after June 1.

Would you or someone else mind explaining the difference in savings for June 1 cut vs outright release?

Why the rush to release then???

Got to give Tony time to find a new team, get a house, hire a good nanny, figure out the best spots for dinner.

The extra 8.9 in 2017 if they need it ...and if they wait til Jun 1.

That's one reason why maybe a bad trade offer is not even worth it.

This is exactly what will happen. People looking for us to be major players in free agency will be severely disappointed

McCown hugely respects Romo and will not sign unless he is off the roster, according to Ed Werder--who said McCown told him that.

Whoa. Blame Josh for the timing.

Maybe 15%?

We now have just over 14 million in cap space. Lee restructured put us at 9 million.

I know it won't happen, but I would get this guy:

Yes, let's blame McCown that we released Romo.

I don't get it. How does that play into respect?

 

[Risen Star]

What's important is that Tony Romo gets what he wants. For him and his family. And I hope he goes on to have more success somewhere else than he did here. I'm a great person.

LOL.

Please, God, tell me we really didn't rush to cut Romo because we were afraid to lose McCown in FA.

Please.

We do not have $14MM in cap space. It appears Romo will be a June 1 designated cut which means we don't see immediate cap savings of $5MM.

Lets all hold hands and sing together.

We're being strong armed by Josh McCown?

You can't make this stuff up.
