Thread: Why Romo Will Come To Denver

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.843f34f83375


Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Elway doesnt want Romo.

Anyone who believes that is off his rocker.

Apparently Romo has made it known he wants to play in Denver. Wise choice. But is a desire to join forces with Romo reciprocated by Elway?

No. At least not at 24 million a season. Why would John trade into that contract when he knows he doesnt have to? And just how strong is Romo's

desire to play in Denver? He definitely doesnt want to go to a team simply to finish his career. To say that a chance at a ring is somewhat important

to Romo is ludicrous. Its everything. More than the money too? Yes.

What other franchise makes sense? KC maybe? Cardinals?

Denver has it all, everything a guy like Romo is looking for (Im going to assume John will revamp the Oline, probably get a stud RB or TE in the

draft) and players want to play here.

All we are going to hear is "Elway is not interested". Guarantee......until we sign him. Elway is no dummy. Romo would help the offense

tremendously. Paxton isnt going anywhere. Paxton doesnt cost money. Siemian doesnt cost money. And Dallas isnt going to pay Romo 24

million a year to sit when that money can help its superbowl contending young team. That money will shore up holes.

........and Elway knows this. Elway is going to be patient. Elway is going to get Romo in Denver because Elway knows that stud QBs

on teams with great defenses win championships. And thats what this is about.....from here forward. Romo would be a massive upgrade and

just like Peyton, John knows what it would mean. He will tell Romo all he wants to hear. Is he injury prone? Yes. Yes. Yes. ALL that will be

incorporated into his contract.

Romo has the quickest release in football...still. Romo would LOVE to play with WRs that dont throw fits on the sidelines and in

the huddle. Romo has been to Denver.....its a stud place to live.


I really think Romo comes to Denver. Thats because Johns alternative is to play a year in order to see if Siemian or Paxton gets better.

I dont see John sitting on a 'lets wait and see' approach.

He wont give up a massive trade, and he wont sign Romo to anything crippling.


I think Romo comes to join the mile high magic.

I highly doubt it. First, Romo would have to be released by Dallas because he's under contract. Elway is not going to TRADE for Tony Romo. Second, Dallas is trying to trade Romo. If they succeed, Romo will be going elsewhere.

Third, Romo would have to re-negotiate his salary down to about 1/3 what he is making now. Would he do that when some other team would pay him what he thinks he's worth?

Sure he would like to come here, but Elway is not going to hire him. Elway believes in Paxton Lynch and has just hired a staff of veteran offensive coordinators, like Bill Musgrave who was OC in Oakland. They are paying these guys a lot of money to mentor and tutor Denver's young QBs.

They did not pay Musgrave all that money to coach up Tony Romo. Romo doesn't need it.

I'd be disappointed because, IMO, Romo just needs one good shot in the back/shoulder and he's on the shelf for 2 months minimum and then they will have progressed no further in developing Lynch/Siemian.

Somebody on ESPN was trying to sell a Romo-for-Watt trade. Unless Watt is halfway crippled, I don't see that one working out. But what could work out would be for the Cowboys to trade Romo to the Texans for Brock Osweiler and Will Fuller. Why would either team do this?

The Texans would be dealing Osweiler's albatross contract for someone who could still be a huge upgrade at QB and the sacrifice would be last year's #1 draft choice. The Cowboys would make Osweiler the #2 QB who can be dropped without penalty after the 2017 season (unlike Romo) and, as a bonus, add a speed burner and kick returner in Fuller who is still under a rookie contract. The dollars match up well although the Texans would be stuck with the diminishing cap hit if they release Romo before 2020.

I can't believe so many people are against this idea.

I just think the risk on his health is too great

Thats part of it. Romo got hurt this past year behind one of the best Oline's in football. Sorry to break it to the members who seem to be oblivious to this but Denver isnt going to have the best Oline in football all of a sudden going into next year even with a couple of upgrades. Secondly, taking care of the ball is important, not only to winning ballgames but to Elway himself who knows how important it is. Romo is just as careless with the football as he is at making plays. Lastly, Elway and company have already said they are fine with the two guys they have so dont hold your breath that he comes here. You heard it here first, he wont be a Bronco.

Im going to assume John will revamp the Oline

The past six years make that a HUGE assumption. Well, no, he's revamped the line several times: With 4th round picks and bargain bin FAs no one wanted. Do that with Romo and he'll be a paraplegic by Halloween. He'll cost at least $1M no matter what, because that's the minimum 2017 salary for players with 10+ seasons.

This is not happening. Smart money says someone Elway DID spend a 1st round pick on gets thrown out there early next season, behind Paradis, Garcia and whatever lukewarm bodies Elway chooses to fill out the rest of the line. Then he takes his lumps for 2-3 years and goes on the scrapheap of failed 1st round QBs because "the draft's ALWAYS a crap shoot." Lather, rinse, repeat, as age and FA erodes our D.

I can't believe so many people want Romo. I think he's overrated when he was healthy, and will never even be close to that guy ever again.

Define "overrated", cause he's been a punching bag for unreasonable fans forever.

He's an average at best QB that has been hyped and paid as an upper echelon QB. That is what I mean by over rated. He was never close to being worth the contract he signed, that is proving he was over rated. That was him in his prime, not after numerous major injuries. My friend who's a Cowboys fan has been begging for a replacement for 5 years. He follows the team far closer than I do and he can't stand Romo, and was pissed when he signed that deal.
