Yea I don't see Romo wanting to go to the Bears or Jets. Bears are on the verge of rebuilding and the Jets are in disarray. Both have bad OL's too.
Buffalo makes sense, as does Houston like you said a few weeks ago. I also think Arizona is an option if Palmer retires. I heard a story that Elway is telling people that he has no interest in Romo. Might just be a negotiation ploy though.
I'm also interested to see what the Rams new coach thinks of Goff. If they don't feel that he's ready yet they could also be a landing spot for Romo.
Regarding our current cap hit with Romo coming up, is there advantage if he just retires and takes a coaching or front office position?
Not if he retires. The cap hit will still be about $19 mil if he retires or if he is traded. $24 mil if he's still in the roster next year. The only way they can get more cap relief is if he's cut after June 1st. I get the impression that Stephen would rather take the entire $19 mil cap hit in one year so that they will still have Dak under his rookie contract for two more years after Romo is completely off the books.
