Won't happen, but that's definitely in the vein of thinking the Cowboys need to go.
No way it happens. For better or worse, Houston is gonna stick with Osweiler with all that money they are paying him. Would be the dumbest trade in history for Houston to give up a franchise defensive player in his prime for a 37-38 year old QB with massive injury problems when they already have a QB they are paying $17 million guaranteed in 2017.Quote:

They need a QB a lot more than they need Watt. They aren't contending for a Super Bowl with Osweiler, but with Romo and that defense they would have a shot. Obviously it's risky because of Romo's health, but they are hosed anyway if they stay with Osweiler.Quote:

That said we are stuck with Osweiller for next year but we could cut or trade other aging players like Brian Cushing, Jonathan Joseph and make room for Romo, Cutler, or someone else floating out there. But there is no way that we part with JJ Watt right now.
There is a very good chance that no team is going to give up anything significant for Romo simply based on age and injury history. The best case scenario for Dallas is probably a 2nd or 3rd round pick or a decent but not game changing defensive player from a Houston or a Denver. Its even been discussed that Jones might just opt to release him outright and play the free agent market as opposed to trading him.Quote:

Romo is guaranteed $14M for 2017. Going to be very difficult to move him.
The Vikings should make it happen. They're an NFC contender with a healthy romoQuote:

That's just it, they can't. His contract is terrible for a team trading for him. Especially considering you know that they have to cut him anyway. They won't get any decent compensation for him at his age, injuries and salary cap structure age. And shouldn't.Quote:

The problem with that is that the Vikings already gave up their 2017 first round pick to the eagles for Sam Bradford. Don't think they go after him. Plus, Bradford had a hell of a season that no one talks about:Quote:
