Posted on Rotoworld: The Cowboys believe they have an "unspoken understanding" with Tony Romo that he won't sign with the division-rival Redskins when/if Romo is released. "It is implied that we will work in the best way we can for the mutual interest of Tony and the Cowboys. That was just implied," said owner Jerry Jones at the Combine. Jones also confirmed NFL Network's rumor of a three-way trade sending Tony Romo to Washington is "not factual in any way." The Washington Post reported Friday the Redskins don't have any interest in Romo, anyway.

Sure, no way to know...but we do know that Jimmy has performed very well in the limited time he's actually played in NFL games. Watson is far removed from that opportunity. If it takes a 1st round pick to get Jimmy, I'd take it because he has proven more than any rookie...and he'd be, at least, prepared to start the first game of 2017. Spending a 1st round pick on a QB in this draft is a total waste, imo, unless you plan on signing Romo.
Citing "several people within the sport," the Washington Post reports there is "growing sentiment" Tony Romo could land with the Texans. Despite rumors Romo could land in D.C. the Post's Mike Jones tweeted Friday that the Skins flatly "don't want" him. The Texans could and should be different with Brock Osweiler and Tom Savage currently atop the depth chart, and a roster that may be one quarterback away from Super Bowl contention. Per the Post's Mark Maske, "Several agents and coaches and executives with other NFL teams said in recent days at the NFL Scouting Combine that they regard the Texans as the most likely destination for Romo." Added one high-ranking NFL official, "I don't think anyone in the league would be surprised to see that one happen." In Houston, Romo could stay in Texas and play beneath the Texans' retractable roof. Romo landing there would be outstanding news for the fantasy outlooks of DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller, Lamar Miller, and C.J. Fiedorowicz. [rotoworld]
Broncos are going to make a run at Romo. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...-broncos-jerry-jones-dallas-cowboys/98822558/
Broncos take Peyton from us and win a Superbowl. Would really suck if they took Romo from us too and get nice production from him for a couple years.
.....sort of, by the time they won a SB though, the ONLY reason they won it was their defense, Peyton was worse than Osweiler was last season when the Broncos actually won it.....so I'm not sure that line of thinking really works.
Wouldn't surprise me at all. If Romo comes here then Savage is clearly the odd man out based on contract situation alone.
Denver has a new coaching staff. What makes anyone think they will be the same team that "just needs a QB" to win? Wade is gone.
Dang, brock really screwed things up around here man. I still really wanted to see what Savage could do given more opportunities. Oh well, on to the next rookie to try to take the reigns. Romo will not stay healthy enough to make a difference.
Wow just a few weeks ago I didn't think Houston would have a real shot at Romo. Unless he's signing for the minimum how do we plan on fitting him, Hopkins, and Bouye under the cap. I'm thinking they let Bouye walk...
Okay, they made a previous Superbowl and were legit contenders every year. The Texans lost that opportunity.
We have enough cap space to basically do what we want. The question is if the Texans want to spend 15 million per year on Bouye or not.
Broncos are being very vocal in their interest in Romo even going as far as to publicly express what they would be willing to pay for Romo ($14million). Only Romo knows what destination he prefers, Denver or Houston seemingly the front-runners. If the winds start blowing in Denver's favor for Romo's services, do the Texans consider trading for his services and how would/could that work. In other words, we're not interested in absorbing Romo's $23million salary for next season, so how would a sign-and-trade work according to NFL rules and general practice?
Both teams have good defenses and various offensive weapons - from that standpoint, they're virtually a draw. Denver has more money; I agree with you - the potential equalizer is the coaching continuity in Houston. Also, I wonder if Romo staying in Texas has any incentive? I'm shocked, frankly, that Jerry hasn't built-in any gentlemen agreement that Romo not go to Houston; you know it'll eat him alive if the Texans steal any of the Cowboys' spotlight.
