I would give up a 4th for Romo. You would somehow have to clear cap space for him. It could be done by letting Cush/JoJo/Weeden go. Nobody's going to trade for Watt and his 100 mil contract with a potential bad back. BTW, what are the odds that Romo who has broken his back and TWO TIMES broken his collarbone? Better than 50-50, pass on Romo. Give me Cutler who's 46-8 when the Bears defense gives up 20 points or less. And DRAFT A QB.
Im all for Romo, but anything more than a 4-5th round pick, is just silly. And I'd rather trade for him than have him get cut and sign him...would save us about 5 million in cap money.
Trades: JJ Watt for Romo or Rivers. This team has proven it can compete without Watt on the defensive side. Notable Cut: Prosh,Ervin,Clark, Weeden, Bergstrom, & Nelson Starters for 2017 should be: WR1:Hopkins WR2:Strong (I can't trust Fuller catching the ball) LT: Brown LG: Draft Pick C: Martin RG: Allen RT: Draft Pick TE: Anderson (I don't like Griffen & can't trust CJ catching the ball) RB: Miller FB: Blue (Big enough and we barely use this position anyways so having Prosh on the roster just to play FB is a waste of roster spot) QB: Romo or Rivers The starting D: DE:Clowny C:Reader DE:Covington LB:Mercilus LB:Cushing LB:McKinney LB: Draft Pick (LB than can cover) CB:Johnson CB:Bouye S: Demps S:Kareem Jackson (too slow to be a corner and maybe should try S. I like Bouye at the CB much more than KJ)
Guys, the Texans will never trade Watt at this point in time...that is absolutely stupid. It's not going to happen, and if it does, I would urge everyone to find a new team to cheer for. It makes ZERO sense. If Romo is not released, he could be had for a mid round draft pick....there is absolutely no reason to trade away one of the greatest defensive players in history. I mean, I dont even know why Im wasting time typing this.
If there is a qb that the Texans like at the top of the draft I would be ok trading Clowney and our #1 to move up and get him.
I didn't know that houston had so many idiots on clutchfans. You don't trade the best defensive player and future hall of famer for a 35 year old qb. Yeah texans defense was #1 this year without him but who's to say that it was just an off year for some other defenses and what if clowney gets injured? I can see us cutting cush, jjo and some other players that are up there in age. We just need to trade for whatever we can get with our draft picks. Hopefully Rick smith can pull off a daryl morey
You are as dumb as the original poster. I guess you missed my post Romo going for a 4th or 5th rounder. He may even be cut.
We'll take his huge cap hit ($23-25mil the next 3 years) unless we send out salary in return. Basically, our whole capspace will be used to fit him (before accounting for cuts and signings).
It's just not agreeing with him, he thinking is LAZY and shows he knows NOTHING about the NFL. Older players don't go for #1 picks. Older players don't have value that is worth Clowney, yet alone Watt. Also, you have to understand the Cowboy's cap situation. Can the Cowboys keep Romo? Sure....problem is they need to fix their defense. They need to sign Free Agents. Romo's $19 million is a drag on the team. He will either be CUT or traded for a 4 or 5th rounder. All these Texans want Romo rumors are to drive up his price after Denver said we are not trading for him. Go read the Cowboy's message boards HOPING AND PRAYING that the Texans are willing to trade Clowney or Watt for Romo....LOL. Don't believe any of it. Cowboys are going to find out the same thing the Colts did with Peyton. Teams will wait the Cowboys out and wait for him to be cut. Their only hope is that a team like the Jets BELIEVE the Texans' will trade for Romo. Otherwise, Romo will be available sometime in March after being cut.
He has a 19 million dollar cap hit next season...14 of it in base salary and 5 in bonus money. In a trade, the Texans are only responsible for the base salary of 14 million. The remainder of the deal is non-guaranteed, so if we don't like what we see in him, we cut him with no penalty for 2018. If he is released, he would probably be seeking at least the 19 million dollars he was scheduled to get paid...so in a sense, might be worth a 5th round pick to save 5 million on the cap.
