    Default Rapoport: Tony Romo "eyeing" Broncos next year

    » 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.

    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.

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

    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.

    I'm intrigued.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    I can't actually listen to another one of your sermons about the offensive line

    It would be straight up suicide on his part.

    He can eye it all he wants...I hope to god Elway just laughs about it. In no way shape or form do I want that fragile ball of glass on this team.
