Thoughts on a Tony Romo for JJ Watt trade?

[Todd4State]

Don't think it happens- but that would be interesting. And I hope it happens for Dak's sake.

[BeardoMSU]

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.

I don't know... Their defense was still top tier without Watt. Osweiler sucks so it would be a better business move just to cut your losses now and move on rather than anchor your franchise for the remainder of his contract. 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.

AGe-wise... JJ is technically in his prime. But he has been injured quite a bit these past 2-3 years himself.

As a Houston fan I would be totally done with the franchise if they did something that stupid. It's becoming evident that Bill O'Brien isn't the QB guru people claimed he was. He just happened to work with the GOAT in NE.

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.

If the chiefs let Eric berry walk, I'd be all over him with the money freed up from getting rid of romo

[Bass Chaser]

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 romo

Vikings, Cardinals, Denver, and Houston are all in this same boat. Super Bowl contenders with a healthy Romo.

If I were in romo's shoes, I'd want to get to an NFC team... I'd wanna beat the cowboys. I don't think the cowboys did him wrong, but still.

I mentioned this back during the season. The Texans had a great defense without Watt this year but need a QB. Dallas adds a pass rusher. Both sides win. I'd offer Romo, a 2nd OL and a suitcase full of cash for JJ.

It still wouldn't happen because if you offered all that I would say let's do but instead of Romo we want Dak.

[MafiaDawg]

The cowboys should be able to get a TON for Romo. There are plenty of teams that need a legit starting qb.

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.

If they're trading Watt, they can get much better than Romo.

Dak ought to see if the Boys would pay league minimum for Derunnya, ha. They had some chemistry.

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:

He threw for almost 4,000 yards, 20(ish) tds, and like 5 interceptions. I think he also set some record for highest completion percentage. The reason the vikings sucked were not because of him. They sucked because of their OL and they had no viable rb once AP went down.
