Cowboys to cut Romo

[benefactor]

Here...we...go

[Robz4000]

He's prolly Broncos bound unfortunately. Would love to see him with the Texans; they could definitely reach the AFCCG.

[benefactor]

If Houston wants him they can get him tbh. Romo wants to be close to home and it's a wash from a fit perspective.

Doubtful, their line is awful. Glad Jerry didn't prolong this, they have a little room to sign FA's now with this and Lee's restructure

He'd be a massive improvement over either's QB situation, and both were already playoff contenders without him. As long as Romo can stay healthy (prolly not, but who knows) he'd really improve their teams.

[spurraider21]

Don't know if he wants to play behind Denvers line and be in the cold. Plus he'd get hurt as soon as bosa/houston/mack get to him

And :lol AFC South too

Lots of appealing reasons to land in Houston if they can work out a deal

[Blake]

So jerry already decided he was going to get nothing in return?

[Clipper Nation]

I guess Stephen Jones really isn't any smarter than his senile old dad after all. What an idiotic move.

[Darth_Pelican]

:lol If he goes to the AFC and beats the Cowboys in the Super Bowl next year

Ya was his salary making him untradeable or what happened with a trade?

RIP December Romo

Congrats to Denver or Houston on the Super Bowl ring

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Texans would have beat the Patriots with Romo and Watt both healthy this past AFCDG. The Texas roster is pretty damn stacked aside from their huge hole at the most important position of the game.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

And :lol AFC South too

Yeah, the Colts and Titans have no pass rush, and the Jags don't really either and they just shelled out big money for Barry Church (:lol)... would be a great fit

[UNT Eagles 2016]

:lol If he goes to the AFC and beats the Cowboys in the Super Bowl next year

Means the Squealers and Cheatriots didn't win, which would be a plus for me.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Whoever gets him (HOU, DEN) must, absolutely must, draft heavy on the OL. Houston has a good left tackle and Zack Martin's brother but they're bad on the other 3 spots, they need to draft OL, OL, OL if they want to win now.

That would be pretty funny but the reality is that there's no way Romo can last 19 games. I've always liked Romo but let's recap recent history.

2015-hurt in the second game, out for over half the season. Returns and then suffers another major injury in his second game back.

2016-Major injury again in the preseason

These were all on routine sacks with one of the best lines in the NFL. There's being injury prone and then there's being physically incapable of playing in the NFL. He's pretty close to that point right now.

Granted the 2016 preseason injury was him rolling out to the left on his own, not a sack. Also Chaz Green was playing at LT that game because all pro Tyron Smith was resting.

You are right and technically the Eagles one was a similar play. I should've just said tackles but either way the point is that Romo has shown that any sort of physical contact with large, angry, roided out black men has resulted in major injuries. I understand that he wants to have one last shot to start somewhere, but he's really at a point where, physically, he needs to just retire.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Tony will go on a Peyton Manning like tour to both Houston and Denver. He will access both situations carefully and make his decision in a few weeks.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

That hit tony took in preseason was a freak hit btw. Avril jumped on his back like an asshole when he was already sliding. Alot of QBs would have gotten hurt getting jumped on in that position.

Denver may be the front runner now.

[Avante]

No way I'm bringing in Tony Romo. And I will predict right now the teams that does sign him will regret it. People need to believe what they see, this guy is just too damn fragile, so why waste $$$$$$ and time on a guy who won't be there come playoff time? No way in hell he can last a 17 week season, so why set your QB position back?

The guy needs to deal with reality and retire. I am only talking about his physical problems, yes he can play.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'd only take Romo if he signs for extremely cheap..if it's anything substantial, then it's a horrible signing, tbh..he'll be dead within the first month behind this offensive line..

I don't know why he wouldn't go to Houston, though..they automatically get in the playoffs by playing in the AFC South, compared to Denver having the toughest schedule in the NFL for a 2nd consecutive season in a division with Oakland and KC..

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Fuck you Jerry just release him you old fuck.

[Clipper Nation]

Trading Romo is still retarded, but not quite as retarded as cutting him outright. What the Cowboys should be doing is moving Wack Prescott while his value is still inflated.

Cheap and one season only. If he won't sign for that, see ya. Obviously if he lasts the season and gets the team to the plyoffs, ok now talk about a better deal.

Houston traded Brock <it's-happening.gif>

NFL Network’s Jeff Darlington tweeted on Friday that after talking to sources about Romo, the Denver Broncos “haven’t closed the door” on Romo but they aren’t pursuing him either. So, Darlington wrote, “Romo believes it’s Texans or retirement for 2017.”

Houston is Romo’s preferred landing spot, and a league source said earlier this month that Houston owner Bob McNair is high on bringing Romo to the Texans, and the team would be willing to trade a mid-round pick to Dallas – provided Romo would agree to a new contract.

Honestly, why go to Houston when you have these broadcasting gigs lusting for you? Option A, take a beating for 16 weeks, possibly wrecking your back even further, or Option B, play golf Monday to Friday and fly out to work one day a week.

The AFC is pretty damn weak outside of NE and Romo doesn't have a SB ring to date. Houston has the best defense in the world and they're getting back the best defensive player in the whole league this year. They have a young o-line who are improving (including Zack Martin's brother, he's a stud) and some awesome receivers, Lamar Miller is an above average running back, they're literally a QB away from giving NE a serious challenge and potentially beating them in a playoff setting en route to a title.

Houston gave up 328 points playing in that weakass division, that is nothing special at all. Miller is not a dominate RB. There is nothing that has the Texans challenging the Pats regardless of who is at QB.

Romo played it all wrong. he should have kept his mouth shit unless asked. Then it's.....I'm under contract to be the Cowboy here. Let's see how it goes....and leave it at that.

Never said Miller was "dominant", just "above average". Reread my post. PPG are an overrated nominal stat just like in the NBA. Texans were #1 without Watt by both analytics and yardage. They came a drive or so away from really putting the heat on NE in NE in the playoffs this past year... and that was with Assweiler throwing his usual daffy duck throws.

How much does Romo really care about a ring? This is the same guy that lost a playoff game and gave a "my life is still dope so whatever" speech right after losing.

What team gave up the least PPG, yep....Pats. And, you are 100% wrong if ya think yards are more important than points.

My point on Miller is the Texans have just an average runner, nothing special.

There is nothing that has the Texans challenging the Pats in the AFC as you will see.

[Mark Celibate]

If somebody is willing to trade a decent draft pick for a guy who's just another major injury waiting to happen, Jerruh better say yes without blinking.

Romo headed into broadcasting. Saga over.

[Trill Clinton]

tbh you guys dodged a bullet. You would've been let down since he's literally a piece of glass at this point. He made the only sensible decision.

If he's heading for the broadcast booth and is looking to avoid further injury, he needs to sit a few seats away from Michael Irvin IMO

[Trill Clinton]

Dbl

[leemajors]

bye Simms, hello Romo

[UNT Eagles 2016]

bye Simms, hello Romo

So Tony did go to the AFC after all.

Maybe I'll actually turn on the television for AFC primetime afternoon games/AFC playoff games from now on if this is the case. Simms is the worst and most boring color commentator in sports. Just like NBC's football telecasts took a big step forward when they replaced the boring John Madden with the lively Cris Collinsworth, will CBS A-team telecasts take a step forward with Romo? I'm not a big Nantz fan (he's inferior to both Buck and Michaels IMO) but things can only go up from Simms.

[Chris]

Are you guys fucking serious Phil Simms is gone? Please please be true

Not going to happen. Seattle wouldn't trade him. Unless we give them, say, Anthony Brown and our 2017 1st rounder. Which would be stupid on our part.

I'd rather travel with the family.

Just how knowledgeable can the guy be about the NFL? He zeros in one one game a week, while guys like us are into all the games.

Avante...(after a Tyreek Hill..wow!) while in high school the guy ran the second fastest high school 200m in history. As we just saw, speed to burn.

I'm not understanding how anyone can be disappointed with this. Romo should get into the HoF for that alone.

Now if only CBS can clone Buck or Al Michaels (or make a hybrid of the two) and replace Nantz.

AFC late afternoon and playoff games have been unwatchable for so long... but Simms was only 60-70% of the problem

[Mark Celibate]

:lol

Nobody has really brought this up, but what makes CBS think that Romo is going to be an improvement? He sounds pretty boring in interviews. I'm starting to think this might have just been a sympathy hire after what happened last season tbh

Very sad to see Romo get run out of the sport in the name of political correctness.

He was still the best quarterback on the Cowboys, but they'd be smeared as "racist" if they ever benched Wack Prescott for him.

rofl that's ridiculous and lazy on your part.

I'm like you in the fact that I clown on my favorite team's management just as much as you do but they definitely got this one right. And this is coming from a guy who is always skeptical about black QB's and even thought that Prescott would be out of the league in a few years. I was as big a doubter as anybody.

First of all, ever since Romo's great 2014 season, he's hardly been able to stay on the field so it was always a huge longshot he'd even come close to matching that year again. Let's recap:

-2015, suffers a major shoulder injury the second game of the year off of a routine tackle
-second game back in 2015, suffers a season ending injury off of a routine sack
-preseason game in 2016 where he's barely playing, gets another major injury off of another routine tackle

At 37 years old, with three major injuries in two years, that's an obvious sign to retire. Even in 2015, Romo was not that great. Had a good first game against New York, bad game against Philly, pretty good game against a bad Miami team when he came back (had a few INTs though), and a terrible game against Carolina when he got injured again. So injuries aside, Dak was playing much better than Romo had been playing that year anyway. The team was on a roll, he's clearly the quarterback of the future, why would you bench him for a now questionable player who is on the verge of retirement? Not to mention Dak's stellar play justified the decision. He was pretty much flawless all season other than the fact that he sometimes got off to slow starts and the inability to show up against the New York Giants.

It would've made zero sense other than for :cry muh loyalty :cry which would've been an example of political correctness.

Good post. I can't believe some Romo fans just dismiss the injury potential. And like you said, he's 37.

I wish someone else would have picked him up just to see him go down in preseason.
