Why The Tony Romo-cowboys Breakup Hasn't Happened

... project as a likely starter. And if either of those teams preferred Cutler, they probably would have signed him by now. What's the downside to the Cowboys' approach here. None, as long as Romo is fine with it. To this point, there is no indication he is getting impatient or that he would create a public spectacle to force the Cowboys' hands. Really? No repercussions at all. Well, one tangential issue arose this week when veteran Josh Mc Cown signed with the Jets. Mc Cown previously visited the Cowboys but held off on signing because Romo's situation was unsettled. So you could argue that this approach cost the Cowboys having Mc Cown as Prescott's backup. Are you sure Romo wants to play in 2017. Not entirely, no. The informed guess is that Romo wants to play for a contender at what he considers a fair starting-level salary, but he isn't committed to playing anywhere for any ...

Bill O'brien Can't Talk About Tony Romo But It's Clear What The Texans Want

... we have to improve on offense,” as the coach himself put it. Given how long the Texans have waited to offer up what Jones would want, I don’t anticipate that changing now. Each day closer to the draft and OTAs makes it all the more likely Romo is simply released. And Jones is doing a disservice to one of his all-time favorite players by continuing to drag this on. Romo lost his job only because he got hurt and Dak Prescott excelled, but he merits an opportunity to play elsewhere and Houston wouldn’t pose any opposition to the Cowboys’ chances until or unless the two franchises met in a Super Bowl. Also, as a PSA: Don’t get caught up in any of the faux drama being floated about Romo vs. Prescott or any such nonsense. It’s a business, and Romo knows as much, and this is an ownership decision. He has many, many friends for ...

Once Again, Broncos Call Tony Romo 'non-issue

... publicly say about a player who is controlled by another team. The Broncos have continued to say their plan is to stick with the quarterbacks they already have in Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch , and the interest they have been reported to have in acquiring Romo has been vastly overstated. Coach Vance Joseph re-affirmed Tuesday that the Broncos have not formally discussed acquiring Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports. “Romo, for us. is a non-issue," Joseph said Tuesday at the league meetings. “We haven’t had one meeting about Romo. We’ve got these two young guys we’re focused on right now. that’s a non-issue for us.". Joseph, Broncos executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway and offensive coordinator Mike Mc Coy have each publicly said multiple times that the Broncos’ plan is to let Siemian and Lynch compete for the starting quarterback job in training camp as the team's OTAs and minicamps will be used to ...

Richard Sherman Trade Talk, Tony Romo Update, More Nfc Notes

... Seahawks in 2017, it wouldn't be a surprise to hear a few more trade whispers in the buildup to the draft. The Seahawks appear to welcome the interest, if the price is right. Here's what else we learned from the NFC as the Annual League Meeting wrapped up. The big names. 1) The potential trade of cornerback Malcolm Butler from New England to New Orleans is on hold, possibly for good. Sean Payton said Wednesday that the Saints aren't going to sign Butler, a restricted free agent, to an offer sheet. New Orleans isn't willing to give up the No. 11 pick in the draft for Butler. A trade could still be worked out, but Patriots owner Robert Kraft's hopeful statements this week about retaining Butler could be a sign of where this is headed. The deadline for signing an offer sheet is April 21. When that day passes, Butler may wind up signing his one-year tender with the Patriots for $3.91 million before gearing up for free agency in 2018. Payton also did his best to shoot ...

Cowboys To Release Romo Thursday

... in a 35-14 win. He sparked the Cowboys to a 9-7 finish and spot in the playoffs, but that season ended when he dropped a snap on a potential winning field goal attempt against the Seattle Seahawks in the wild-card round. In his first full season as the starter in 2007, Romo threw for a then-franchise-record 4,211 yards, a mark he would set twice more in his career, and a franchise record 36 touchdown passes. The Cowboys finished with the best record in the NFC (13-3) but lost in the divisional round of the playoffs. Romo has a career record of 78-49, but he never was able to get the Cowboys past the divisional round of the playoffs in four playoff appearances. His 34,183 passing yards and 248 touchdown passes are the most in team history, but with Hall of Famers Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman combining for five Super Bowl wins, Cowboys quarterbacks are judged on championships. Tony Romo is set to become a free agent on Thursday. Rich Schultz /Getty Images. Romo also holds team records for most 300-yard passing games (46), multiple touchdown pass games (79) and consecutive games with a touchdown pass (38). In 2012, he threw for a club-record 4,903 yards and on Oct. 6, ...

Could Tony Romo Actually Replace Phil Simms On Cbs' Top Broadcast Team

... will lay off 40-50 employees, all but a few on-air personalities should be nervous. But it’s worth pausing to think about whether Romo, who has never worked on television full-time, would be an upgrade. Broadcasting is certainly harder than it looks, and while maybe Simms isn’t the best, but he’s got years of experience that Romo doesn’t. Romo would certainly face a learning curve, which he’d have to work through in a very high-profile role. An as Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio points out , CBS’ Thursday Night Football package would make the task even harder. An immediate installment as the No. 1 guy could be overwhelming for Romo, given that CBS has the Thursday night package for the first half of the season. In his first year of learning how to call games, he’d be calling two per week. Florio also notes that accepting the CBS’ No. 1 job would likely close the door on Romo returning to the NFL—given that CBS would presumably want a firm commitment—and he might not be ready to take that dive. Landing at the top of the CBS football food chain also could make it harder for Romo to pull a Roger Clemens and return to the field during ...

Is Tony Romo Headed To The Booth? Why A Stop In Denver Or Houston Would Actually Help Him Get There

... and he's a very analytical guy so I know he's looking at it and weighing all his options. But he felt as good as he had physically in a long time at the end of last season. He put a lot into coming back. He feels his best opportunity to win big was taken away from him by the injury he had against Seattle in the preseason and the way it unfolded with Dak. He doesn't want to go out that way. The Tony Romo saga: What's the holdup? Who blinks first? The danger in dragging things out. Now, there are a lot of athletes who don't get to go out the way they want. But I think he feels that physically he still can get it done. He's aware of his medical history more so than anyone else. He knows the questions other teams will have, willing to sign a deal that takes that into account, meaning he'd have a contract that pays him maybe $5-6 million to start with incentives baked into the contract, that would escalate based on playing time, performance, all of that. He's aware of where he is in career and the concerns other teams have. But unless something's shifted here in the last ...

Timeline Of How We Got Here And More Of What The Experts Are Saying About His Future

... uniform to keep the New England Patriots from running away with the AFC. The Romo saga, which appeared to be over when free agency first began when it was thought that the Cowboys were going to release the veteran quarterback, continues. And The Dallas Morning News' David Moore writes that it's going to drag on a while longer. Moore: One source went as far as to say "it's optimistic' to suggest Romo's status with the Cowboys will be determined in the next week. This doesn't mean the club has altered its position. The Cowboys intend to release Romo if a trade partner isn't found. Denver and Houston are considered the leading candidates to land Romo. Both clubs have conceded an interest in Romo if he hits the open market but have indicated they have no intention of trading for him. The Cowboys appear determined to test that resolve. Club officials are willing to let this play out after Thursday's developments. Special contributor Matt Mosley has a theory : See why he thinks Jerry would rather see Tony toil in Denver than in Houston. Former Cowboys safety, now a Jacksonville Jaguar, sees Romo as more likely to head south than out west. While his ...

Why The Cowboys' New Tony Romo Deadline Doesn't Make Sense

... While the offseason program, which starts April 17, and organized team activities are voluntary, there is nothing stopping Romo from showing up at The Star for workouts, which would put him at risk of injury. If he were to get hurt, the Dallas Cowboys would be on the hook for his $14 million base salary. Do you think the Cowboys would like to see Romo on the squat rack ready to lift some heavy weights. We've heard Jones tell us over and over again that a player's value is at its lowest before the draft. If you are, say, the Houston Texans , you would want to have Romo on the roster at the start of the offseason program so he can begin to learn the offense, so waiting until after the draft isn't the best of options either. "This is the offseason," said Jerry Jones in regards to a decision on Tony Romo. "We're not missing doing anything. From the standpoint of the franchise and the Cowboys, nothing is being held up here at all.". Erich Schlegel/USA TODAY Sports. The delay of the inevitable has folks conjuring up Jones and Romo in some sort of staring contest, waiting for the other to blink. Jones has said that there is no acrimony ...
