Tony Romo Won’t Join Redskins Due To “Do-Right Rule”
Or simply stay with the Cowboys and be the most expensive backup in the history of the NFL? In the meantime, the 36-year-old is getting into this Instagram thing that’s all the rage, and once again, he’s made a memorable debut.
According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, multiple National Football League sources have told him that the Broncos will, in fact, pursue if/when the veteran quarterback is released by the Dallas Cowboy’s sometime this week. So, at least in theory, Romo’s current $24.7 million salary cap hit for this year would be easily absorbed.
Tom Coughlin coming back to Jacksonville as a front office executive may be raising the internal expectations for the team, so everything could be on the table during free agency and the draft.
While it would make sense for all three teams, the Cowboys have not yet been contacted about this trade. Romo isn’t Manning, but he’s a high-level quarterback who could still have a good season or two left. He also listed the Chiefs, 49ers and Jaguars as possibility.
Even if the Redskins prove not to be interested in Romo, the team could still attempt to make a trade with the 49ers and several other teams. “That’s important here. Now we’ve got to abide by every league rule”. Pro Football Focus graded Houston starting QB Brock Osweiler 32nd (40.5) among 34 qualified quarterbacks, while Trevor Siemian, Denver’s regular starter, sat 30th (44.4). According to Hill, Romo is open to a new contract that would pay him based on the number of games he played. This scenario feels like the most likely one. The question is whether they’ll want to, which would probably be a tougher call for them than parting with a middling draft pick. OK, Bradford redefined the word mediocrity previous year, and nobody is quite sure about Bridgewater’s recovery from a horrific knee injury. Is say likely because another franchise tag is too expensive and Cousins wants the 49ers.
However, are the Texans really serious contenders for Romo? Bet your boots that Jerry won’t let that happen.
Denver: The Broncos have a ready-made Super Bowl-caliber team that needs a deft touch behind center. Romo is a win-now guy.
“It’s no secret that I just think so much of him as a person and think so much of him as a player”, Jones said in a radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
If Jones means this “do-right” attitude, and given his affinity for Romo that’s a fair assumption, then cutting him is really the only choice minus a team being so inept that they’d bid against themselves and offer up a pick. If he plays, he gets paid.
Our pick: H-town. How ’bout them Texans?
