Would Romo have trade value next year?

[CouchCoach]

If the Cowboys cut him after all he has meant to the franchise, that will be the end of his NFL career. If we don't value him, no one else will.

Depends 0n whether that's a cap cut.

Arizona is a hot bed for Cowboy fans. Perfect fit.

This personal attachment for Cowboy players not wanting them to play or end their careers elsewhere is borderline homophobic. Lol

Btw coach. I see you went back to DC site. Booooo

Too many memories, Greg, and the comfort level there knowing more posters and their sarcasm level makes it easier. This is a good football site but that's where it ends, not much beyond that and that doesn't work as well for me.

If the Cowboys trade Romo after this season they take a cap hit of $19.6mil. (His cap hit if he's on the team is $24.7 mil.)
His trade value depends on what he does this year.
If he misses the entire year (seems very unlikely) I doubt anyone would trade much for him and it probably makes more sense to designate him as a post June 1 cut to lessen the cap hit than take a 4th round pick.

If he returns and either plays poorly or gets injured again the value is the same.

OTOH if he plays well and avoids injury there are teams that would trade a pick for him. Probably a 2nd but maybe even a late 1st. His contract wouldn't be bad for the new team since there's no guaranteed money. He's only making $14 mil for the new team in 2017, $19.5 in 2018 and $20.5 in 2019 and (in theory) they could just cut him at no cost if he doesn't play well.

The question is, if he plays well when he comes back why would you take a big cap hit to trade him?

I understand. I was never in it for just the entertainment value . I don't feel like I left much behind. It ran its course.

A good football site is all I ever wanted without the childishness.

Look at the value of Peyton. Denver didn't know how he'd recover neck surgery.

So.... You are saying that our only hope is if Denver trades for him?

No sir. That was just an example.

Romo isn't Peyton, he hasn't accomplished near what Peyton Manning has accomplished plus Peyton didn't cost Denver a draft pick he was a free agent. We're talking about trade value with Romo and because of numerous injuries that have kept him off the field the past two seasons and his age his trade value would be a #2 or #3 at best. Only a SB contending team in desperate need of a QB would give up more than a #2 for Romo.

And IND screwed that one up big time.......if they kept Manning they probably win the SB with the draft picks they would have gotten from WAS......not getting any picks was a mistake in letting Manning hit FA

I always struggle recognizing sarcasm and humor without those. Thanks for clarifying.

The decision to pass on the $28 million bonus owed to Manning and not to pick up the four remaining years on his contract was why he was released. Why would Washington or anyone else give up a bunch of picks for an aging Manning when there were no guarantees he would fully recover from neck surgery and when everyone knew if the Colts didn't pick up the bonus he would be released? Hard to trade a QB who was making the kind of money Manning was and who might never be the same after neck surgery.

The Cowboys would only save $5 million if they released Romo and why a trade is best option if they want to make change at QB next year moving forward. The same option will be available in 2018.

If we wait until 2019 then that becomes Prescott contract season and we'll either need to extend him without a full season in action or Franchise Tag him like Skins did Cousins this year unsure after one year starting if they wanted to commit long term.

The draft picks would have been for Luck not Peyton......IND should have paid and kept Peyton and used the multiple picks from WAS to rebuild and reload

Luck was far too good for Indy to pass up. There hasn't been a higher rated QB coming out of the draft than Andrew Luck in awhile. Peyton was going to be 36 and was due far too much money ($28M) to keep after missing an entire season with a neck issue and not knowing if he would ever be the same again. There's no assurances Indy would have been able to fix their OL that's been getting Luck killed. Indy didn't have the team that Denver did, they needed to rebuild starting with a young QB.

I'm not saying trading Romo isn't the best option, I'm saying you can't expect anymore than a #2 or #3 for him at this stage in his career with all the injuries he's suffered.

That's your opinion......that old hurt expensive QB went to 2 SBs in Denver........I say the same could have happened in IND....4 top picks and Peyton is pretty good

Indy was 10-6 in Manning's final season with the Colts and were a 2-14 team without him the following year which means they had a lot of holes. Denver managed to go 8-8 and win a playoff game with TIM TEBOW at QB so they knew a great QB would make all the difference for them. With the team they had they were willing to take a chance on Manning. Luck has been brutalized behind the Colts OL, Manning would have had little chance behind that line coming back from neck surgery and not having a solid running game.

And IND went 11-5 the first 3 years with Luck......with Peyton AND 3 more 1st round picks I think they overtake the Tebow led and Peyton-less Broncos and go to the SB....maybe Ware signs with IND instead of DEN

Luck took 100 sacks his first 3 years in Indy, Manning would have never held up to the beating Luck took. The fact that luck led Indy to three straight 11-5 seasons and a title game appearance validates that the Colts made the right decision moving on from Manning and drafting him.
