Would Romo have trade value next year?

ConceptCoop said:
There will be a market for him. There will always be teams who can make 20M work for a season and there will always be teams who need a QB, even for a year or 2. I could see him landing us a 3rd rounder for him. That said, that would depend on Tony wanting to play for said team. Otherwise, I think he'd retire.

With our luck as of late, he will go to Philly to take over for an injured Wentz, and take them to a SB win.

If we decided to go with Dak next year with one year remaining on Romo's contract could there be a team that might feel they are just a QB away?

What would he potentially bring us as in a draft pick or is his injury concern too grave an issue for another team to undertake?

While I don't think it would or should happen, it's a good what if scenario. I would find it hard to believe a team would be desperate enough to take on that big of a salary cap hit with a QB that old and with potential injury concerns. Even a team that feels that they are one QB away might have reservations unless Romo agreed to a lesser contract. In the extraordinarily unlikely event that Romo agreed and Jerry traded him away, I have a sneaky suspicion that we'd be watching him win a SB for that team while our team sat at home or watched him beat them in the SB. Karma, you know? lol

Like CC, I wouldn't want to see Romo in other colors as well. He's always been a Cowboy and should retire a Cowboy. I hope Ware signs with the Cowboys for a day so he can retire as one when he retires. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't. I want to see Witten retire as a Cowboy.

Ugh. I know Tony has been polarizing at times, but he's one of the all time great Cowboys, to me, and it would be crushing to see him suit up for a division rival. At least when Emmitt did it, it was the Cardinals, who never truly felt like an NFCE rival.

There's no mention of a no trade clause in his contract according to Cowboyswire. Com

This isn't about what we want. It might be about what's best for the Cowboys if we have a less expensive alternative adding much cap space without losing much production if any.

Don't care, don't want to see another Cowboy so long associated with our team playing for another team. I would be surprised that there is no clause that Romo must approve the trade. And there should be a clause that CouchCoach must approve it and I am already on record.
 
The Cowboys in recent years have illustrated more discipline in managing the Cap releasing greats like Ware and Murray.

Why wouldn't Romo fall into this if they thought Dak wouldn't be a dramatic drop off in talent with all of the cap savings?

That's silly but funny. Lol

Because the savings is really small next year. Pay him 25M to play or 20M not to. I don't think you cut him to save 5M.
 
Risking Romo for additional injury would definitely lower his trade value. Unless the team tanks with Dak I'd seriously consider resting Romo for a higher value next year in a blockbuster trade .
 
As good as he's been, I honestly don't think he can realistically be traded. Too expensive and even more injury prone. And at his age, he's likely towards the end of his career even without the injuries. Who knows, though, what a team will need in the off season.

Agreed. I'd rest him the rest of the season and pray a team desperately needs him next off season.

Isn't that what Carson Palmer was? And Payton Manning?

20-25M/yr is a huge longterm hit. But most teams can move some things around and make it work for a year. The following year they can re-do it or cut him and save most of it.

This is a QB hungry league and some GM could see Tony, and a potential playoff run, as a job saver. I'd be really surprised if we couldn't get something for him. Just my opinion, of course, and I'm wrong about as often as I'm right.

Assuming any team would actually do it. I don't think that one would.

It's tough because skill and star power-wise, I'm sure teams would be jumping all over him. The price and injury concern is just too real I think for most teams unless they were in desperate need and were just a QB away.
