Rapoport: Tony Romo "eyeing" Broncos next year

[VonDoom]

» There will be a market for Romo this offseason, as the team will look to trade him. Though owner Jerry Jones said he's given no consideration to having Romo on another team, carrying him as the backup for another year doesn't seem realistic. Romo, I'm told, already has eyes on the Broncos as a possible destination if general manager John Elway decides Paxton Lynch needs another year and that Trevor Siemian isn't the guy. Other options, depending on a variety of factors, include the Bears, Jets, Cardinals, and Bills. When the Cowboys do trade him, they'll still have to deal with about a $20 million salary-cap hit. Romo will have significant say in the matter given that he will need to renegotiate his deal. He, essentially, could veto any move.

Now, I think it's too early to worry about all this at this point, but Romo's name has been coming up in relation to the Broncos recently. The real question for us will be whether they think Lynch is ready or needs another year. Elway isn't afraid to be aggressive, so it's not entirely unreasonable that this could happen, but a lot would have to take place first.

[Northman]

So we will be able to witness Romo actually dying on the field? No thanks. Frankly, i dont see this happening much like i didnt see the Kaepernick deal happening. But, i do see San Fran maybe trying to make a play for him.

[turftoad]

I don't think we can afford him unless he takes a ridiculous pay cut to come here.

[Valar Morghulis]

I don't think we can afford him unless he takes a ridiculous pay cut to come here.

We about about forty mill to play with

[turftoad]

Still have FA's to pay up for also.
If we can afford it, I'd be OK with him here for a couple of years. Better than what we have RIGHT NOW anyway.

[MOtorboat]

I'm intrigued.

[Poet]

Eating bench for most of the year as a first rounder is rare. Doing it for two seasons -presuming Romo is the starter- is flat out unheard of. I can't imagine TR comes here as a backup QB.

[LawDog]

What would they pay for the 4-5 games that Romo would be healthy for?

[Simple Jaded]

He would have to take a paycut, no one is trading for that contract even if he didn't have age/health risks. They can't cut him because of dead money, so, if he wants out we're talking a straight up paycut. Then you have to wonder what Dallas can get in trade value and if that's even worth it.

I forget what his dead money number would be but Hyuge.


I've always liked Romo, his critics are ridiculous, I'd do it if not for Lynch but not for more than around $15 MM/per and a conditional pick.

[Simple Jaded]

Although, if he's taking that much of a paycut he could probably dictate where he goes, Dallas has zero leverage because there's a real possibility that they'd have to keep him at $25 MM. And THAT, Jer'uh stuck with a $25 MM backup, is what I'm hoping for.

My dream of Jones starting Romo over Prescott died on the vine but there's still a good chance that this turns out really bad for the Cowballs.

[Joel]

We about about forty mill to play with
Yeah, so instead of spending that cash to shore up our awful line, let's spend it on a QB whose body's ALREADY shattered from a career behind a line like that.

Romo's out of his mind to even be considering this. And I doubt Elway considers it at all. I'd love to have him as vet insurance for Lynch, but not for what'd it cost.

Elway took manning as a high profile FA. Last offseason he went after a few that were deals when we had unknown siemian only on roster. I doubt elway will go after romo unless he is dirt cheap. But elway also saw a groomed qb walk away after being drafted to be the new. Elway would be doing the same to lynch......not a good trend.

[Dapper Dan]

Aaron Rodgers was a first round pick and waited like 4 years to start. It's not unheard of for a first round pick to wait. Especially if the guys in charge want to wait.

I think Kubiak likes Siemian. I don't see anything changing unless Elway really wants it to.

Romo could still get quite a bit of money from a team that's very desperate like the Jets or Niners. It'll be his last check. He'd be crazy not to cash in.

What Romo wants may not be what Romo gets. I'm no so sure he'd be pore productive than Trevor next year. He'll be 39 and quarterback is not what needs fixed in this offense.

You point out a narrow circumstance that is literally an outlier. Congratulations' you 'got me'. Still an outlier. If only I had 'barring ONE time in x amount of years!' then I would have been Dan proof! Trying to correct me obviously means so much the way you try to prance around after 'getting me'.

Big difference between that situation and ours as well. Rodgers was drafted as Favre's successor. For us, Lynch was drafted who maybe we sit a year, but would likely be expected to be competing for the starting job in year 2.

If we bring a guy like Romo in, I think Elway is basically admitting he whiffed on the Lynch pick. You don't bring in a guy like Romo AFTER using a first round pick on a QB if you think the QB is any good.

If only Dallas had been able to trade up for Lynch and we'd gotten Dak. What could have been.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Why you no sure?
You should have finished that sentence with, "....Dr Jones".

Because Romo is not what he use to be and he'll be 126 years old and learning a new offense .

Dude, it doesn't matter. Rodgers did it. Super noteworthy. It's happened one time essentially. Super relevant. We will ignore the fact that it's happened just once and in GB they drafted him to replace an aging vet and in thi instance we would be bringing in an aging vet to at least pseudo-replace our first rounder.

And FWIW, I don't think Elway touches Romo with a 10 foot pole. That would be a panic move that I don't see Elway making. This is a lot different from the Manning situation. In that case we had Tebow who was obviously not good and you had Manning who was coming off more of a freak injury than a guy like Romo who gets hurt every year. That and Romo is like 3 years older now than Manning was when we got him.

I just don't see how Romo makes any sense for us unless Elway has already given up hope on Lynch, which I would find very surprising.

I don't think so. The thing everyone missed about Prescott was how smart he is, for him to have a seamless transition from Mississippi State's offense to Dallas' offense is pretty rare for a rookie QB. His decision making is fantastic as well. I think Prescott would have impressed Kubiak with how quickly he grasped the offense and would have been the starter. The whole reason Lynch is sitting is because he isn't ready yet. Prescott wouldn't have had that problem.

Of course this is entirely speculation, but it would be a long shot if Lynch ends up anywhere near as good as Prescott has been. Dallas just hit the lottery on that one.

[I Eat Staples]

If Lynch still isn't ready to start NEXT season, then he's probably just a bust. If the coaches believe that to be the case, I'm all for going after Romo. Not sure how he'll hold up after all the injuries, but if he can stay healthy and is still his former self, I'd be pretty damn excited to have him here. He was always very underrated.

Exactly, if the league gm's had an inclination of how good he would be he would have been drafted in the top 5 picks, not the fourth round.

[broncofaninfla]

Three reasons why I don't like this idea:

Romo would die behind this offensive line
His contract is too costly
We already have two young guys who can play at the same or possibly higher level next year.

Our problem is Oline and scheme, not QB.

People keep saying this I do not get why. The cowboys only had a good line for like 2 years. On the plays romo got hurt he was running downfield and got ninja chopped and destroyed by the LB...Not indicative of what would possibly be something to project.

His contract is waaaaay too much no doubt. He would have to re-negotiate.

None of our QBs are anywhere close to romos level, at least right now anyway. Make no mistake. Romo would do for us what Peyton did his first two years here. Lynch and Sim are NOT even in the ballpark. Lynch may get there one day, but he is not in the convo yet.

What? Why?
We drafted a QB who every single GM and Scout, All of them, Every one, each and every one, all, said that Lynch is not ready this year and is a project and will need time to develop. All of them. How does a QB go from that to stud with 16 weeks of scout team work, a few OTAs and 1.5 training camps? I do not see it as any indication as to anything, and honestly, who cares what people think.

What matter is that the broncos develop him and bring out a finished polished project. Following someones made up timeline about busts or whatnot means jack squat. I believe that he needs 2 years at least. This year to learn playbook and work on mechanics. Next year to read defenses and stop thinking. Then finally maybe he will be ready to be unveiled. In the meantime we have a champ defense and only need an average to above average QB to bring us another title. Romo can do that.

As dave mentioned the game where we had a shootout with Romo and won on his last second pick, I also knew he was going to throw one, but we dont need romo to romo for us. He had to put up 40+ points to win and still lost.

Here he has to put up 24. And more importantly just move the ball for a few 1st downs per drive, give the D a rest and we can win. I am not saying I want romo, but I think he would improve us and him being here has nothing to do with Lynch or his development. I also dont want to David Carr lynch with our Terrible OL and mess his head up.

? Sacks caused each of his broken collarbones (http://www.espn.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4753377/a-look-at-tony-romos-injury-history)—all THREE of them. There's a reason Dallas sold out on drafting offensive linemen early in two straight drafts: For the same reason we should, except the victim then was Romo (and Marion Barber and Co.) for a decade instead of Manning (and Willis McGahee and Co.) for half of one. Does this look like a QB running downfield?

http://larrybrownsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/tony-romo-hand1.jpg

Looks more like a QB surrounded by three pass rushers but only a SINGLE lineman (who's on the wrong side of the pass rusher he's "blocking.") Tony Romos career is an object lesson in why we desperately need to rebuild our line yesterday.


His contract is waaaaay too much no doubt. He would have to re-negotiate.

Not even Cowboys fans have ever compared Romo to Manning at his best, and Manning had a FAR better injury history (even a far better broken spine history.)

I don't know man, the last time I saw him play he looked like his arm talent and physical agility had really dropped off from his gunslinger days.

[CrazyHorse]

Romo is injury and the polar opposite of clutch in games. His cowboys have always been middle of the road with him. He loses games at the end with costly ints.

He has the highest 4th quarter rating in NFL history.

This is the rumor that will not die. I'm completely on board with this as long as it's low risk and doesn't break the bank.

Best case scenario is the Cowboys win the Super Bowl(Provided the Broncos don't). Romo asks for unconditional release which is granted. Broncos sign Romo for very team friendly deal. Broncos spend majority of picks on offensive and defensive line. Romo would be the same age Manning was when he set every single season passing record. Manning's injuries are also arguably worse than Romo's.

And the thing I think everyone is missing about Siemian is that Kubiak loves him some Siemian as much as Wave loves him some Prescott.


And again, Prescott isn't the same player in this offense, not by a long shot. No running game, no pass blocking and a coaching staff that has zero interest in running anything resembling what he ran in college. All things that have contributed heavily to his success.

I still wouldn't trade Lynch for Prescott, he's the better prospect.

[Hawgdriver]

Like I tell my son, 'we'll see'.

Either way I'm fine with Lynch.

I don't regret Prescott, I don't regret Derek Carr, any QB really. Maybe Luck.

I liked Lynch way better than Prescott, but every game that Prescott plays well and Lynch sits on the bench it becomes less relevant how good they were as prospects. I still hope that Lynch will start next season and show that he can be our guy for the next ~15 years, and I definitely don't regret anything, hindsight is 20/20 and nobody would have drafted Prescott over Lynch.

As for Siemian, I don't know what Kubiak sees in him, but I don't think he'll be our starter next year either way. Either Lynch gets a chance, or the coaches believe he's so bad that they have to go get a veteran like Romo.

I've always had a problem separating what they were/are as prospects. If the P*triots drafted Shady in the 1st round it's still a blown pick and I don't even bother to consider whether or not he is this Tom Shady if he goes to any other team. Same goes for Prescott, he wasn't a 1st round prospect and there's no way of knowing he'd be this Dak Prescott if he was drafted by Denver.

Conversely, I think there's a bunch of QB's that would have fair better had they gone somewhere else. There's just no way of knowing.

Still, beside the point, it's my opinion he's still behind Siemian.

Oh I have the same problem, I watch so much college football and follow the draft and everything leading up to it so much that I fall in love with prospects and become obsessed with draft pick value and all. But sometimes scouts just whiff on someone, and I think Prescott was one of those times. Personally I thought he was another Tebow and never thought he'd be a good NFL QB, but the difference is that Tebow was dumb and Prescott was smart enough to learn a completely different offense than what he played in for years, in just a few months. That part is harder to evaluate than the physical talent, and is more important for a QB.

He has the highest 4th quarter rating in NFL history.

This is the rumor that will not die. I'm completely on board with this as long as it's low risk and doesn't break the bank.

Best case scenario is the Cowboys win the Super Bowl(Provided the Broncos don't). Romo asks for unconditional release which is granted. Broncos sign Romo for very team friendly deal. Broncos spend majority of picks on offensive and defensive line. Romo would be the same age Manning was when he set every single season passing record. Manning's injuries are also arguably worse than Romo's.

He still chokes with good 4th quarter stats

So under no possible circumstances then.

Romo's had a LOT more of them though, and only one of Mannings was arguably worse. Romo's had more VERTEBRAE broken, but Mannings skill, mind and solid line kept him pretty much injury-free before 2011. Romo's... didn't.

So are you for or against getting Romo?

My issue with Prescott was his college offense, he's got solid ability and talent across the board though. I just didn't care to tackle the brain damage of developing a QB from that offense. Tebow had great results in that offense, to me this probably also a deal breaker, fair or not.

QB's and WR's, they historically seem to struggle to adapt from that offense. Same with Goff, I got interested in him early until I found out he's from Sonny Dykes system.

Lynch too, to a lesser extent.

Yes

[capt. Jack]

I am rooting for Paxton or a QB under 30 years old.
I don't think we can catch "Lighting in a bottle" or should I say "Star Wars in a bottle" twice.

(Just say "NO TO ROMO!")

What about Aaron Rodgers? He will be 33 next month, but he is younger than Peyton was during his first year with the Broncos (36).

I doubt Rodgers ends up going anywhere anytime soon.

[capt. Jack]

I would take Rogers, Stafford, or Luck!

Or stick with Trevor or Paxton!

If there was some way we would be able to snag luck, that's a Superbowl.

Every one of our superbowls were won with QB's drafted by the Colts. That said, there is zero chance of us getting luck, but if we could, that's a superbowl win.

I just get ****ing confused, I hear Charley Browns parents in my head when I read Joel's posts sometimes.

[gregbroncs]

Please god no!

[atwater27]

Romo would thrive in a place that has a solid offensive line. That is NOT here.

Post more. I miss you.

Paxton Lynch will be the starter next year, romo will not be a Bronco. This story sounds good for romo but it will not happen for him.

[Simple Jaded]

Collinsworth said Kubiak LOL'ed when he asked him about this Romo rumor.

[Joel]

Paxton Lynch will be the starter next year, romo will not be a Bronco. This story sounds good for romo but it will not happen for him.I agree with every statement but the third: This story sounds LETHAL for Romo; the claims HE started it suggest he's already taken too many head shots.
