Trading for Tony Romo 

Post#1 » by shagadelic45 » Wed Nov 9, 2016 9:41 pm

now that Dak has proven to be the starting qb now and for the future, what teams would be interested and what draft pick/picks could Dallas get in return for Romo?


Some teams that come to mind: Jets, Niners, Broncos, Vikings, Jaguars, Redskins, Dolphins, Browns, Bears, Rams

In order, I'd say...No, No, Maybe, No, No, No, Yes, Hell No, No.
You need a team that is treading water or in the play off hunt that doesn't have a QB. The Vikings have already married themselves to Bradford and their O-line would kill him. Redskins have Cousins...for now. The Dolphins are interesting sitting there at 4-4 with the funny named RB really getting his wheels under him and a decent enough defense. What about the Rams? I don't see it happening, but it makes pretty good sense.

I don't think Romo has any kind of trade value given his age and injury history. I think best case scenario is a 4th round pick based on playing time and performance based factors, and even that seems like a reach. Considering Jerry Jones' infatuation with Romo, the Cowboys will probably go with the expensive backup route.

Not only expensive... safe. You have a known quantity with no down side. And moving him doesn't really help salary cap wise next season. I say he's here at this time next year.

I doubt Bell will want to run behind that crappy ass O-line.

Even if Romo was traded, which I doubt will ever happen, Denver is the only team I see listed that would be a possibility. It would have to be a team that is a high playoff/Super Bowl contender. No way he goes to a rebuilding team. However, I may be in the Cowboy nation minority here, but I would trade Romo in a heart beat just to get rid of his contract and 19 million cap hit for next year. I want to finish the defense next draft and dominate the NFC for about 5 years. Can you guys all imagine how America's Team will look and be if our defense was as good as the offense. :rocking:

That "crappy" O-Line is one of the best in the league...

I guess our eye tests are different. I see a Giants team lucky to be where they presently are. A play by Beckham in the Eagle game and Raven game along with a missed extra point and missed field goal away from being only a 2 or 3 win team. Don't get your hopes up.
