Sports WebXtra: Cowboys to meet with Tony Romo soon
But he also said they would consider bringing in a veteran quarterback.
The Denver Broncos are at the top of that list despite losing Gary Kubiak to retirement and moving toward a defensive-minded head coach in Vance Joseph.
OTC has the Cowboys with $3.3 million in cap room heading into free agency, while Spotrac has the Cowboys with $5.5 million.
Although the formal business relationship between veteran quarterback Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys is probably in its final days, this isn’t going to be a messy divorce.
“I think Devontae had a good year last year”.
Joseph said the team was confident in their two quarterbacks, Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch.
Romo attempted to get his two young sons to play the roles of quarterback and wide receiver.
The Broncos will need Anderson help for the upcoming season after finishing No. 27 in the National Football League in 2016.
Nabbing Romo would mean the Broncos aren’t sold on Siemian or Lynch, at least not for 2017.
At the time Ellis said “that is my plan for sure and I’ve been optimistic throughout we’ll get something done”.
Obviously, money is a factor, as well as Romo’s desire to continue to his career elsewhere.
Romo is set to make a base salary of $14 million in 2017, according to overthecap.com. The Broncos are expected to express interest in Romo when he becomes a free agent.
“Trevor’s doing fine. He’s rehabbing everyday in the building”.
“We’re open to everything”, he said. “It’s his left shoulder”.
-Joseph said the team will meet with Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey at the Scouting Combine on Thursday night. And that closeness to his rather palatial home in Dallas and his growing family is one other thing that may be very, very important to him. They both have the potential to take up some of the slack for the offense, and in Houston’s case, their defense was largely responsible for getting them into the playoffs last season. He’s a tall man with a big arm. “But is he ready?” Is he ready? That’s a tough question. How do you fill holes now while keeping some open for later?
The photo-op was there and John Elway surely knew it, so he continued to chat up Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett as the cameras flickered.
Although the Broncos have Von Miller and Shane Ray as the starters, they could represent the flawless situation for Ware as he enters his 13th season.
“I don’t want to comment too much on that”, Garrett said.
Defensively, Joseph discussed multiple issues. As a team, the Broncos were 24th in schedule-adjusted Passing NEP per play. But you also can see why the Broncos might want Romo.
“Trevor did a good job past year, but we’re looking for a guy that we can hang our hat on for a long, long time”. Everyone thinks we just talk about next year, but we don’t. If Washington feels Cousins hasn’t proven himself worthy of those deals, Romo could be a viable option until they find a quarterback in the draft they like. “I think we have to get better offensively and this is the time of year that we have to get better”.
