In the absence of news, I'm throwing out a theory...

Seems like it's also holding the Texans hostage in a way -- no real activity on the FA front, presumably waiting for their chance to sign Romo?

 

That could be true, but who knows if Romo has it left in him anyway. 3 years is a long time, and the last couple years were disasters. If he can be what he once was then yes, it could be an awesome revenge.

 

Bob McNair can't be too thrilled with his buddy Jerrah right about now. Since Jerry woke up one morning and remembered that he was an *******, Romo has been left in limbo, the Texans haven't been able to make a move in free agency, and even guys like Cutler are stuck playing the waiting game. Watching the Broncos flurry of FA signings in the last couple of days gives me a little hope that they've gotten word that they won't be getting Romo, but until we have concrete news that Romo A) has been released and B) is on his way to Houston to sign a contract, I won't be making any assumptions. It's frustrating that our organization always seems to have a difficult path in front of it (partly by design, partly by luck), but hopefully things work out for us. The city and the fans deserve it.

 

Ben Albright says Jerry does not want Romo in Houston:

 

He's not the only one.

 

I'm okay if Romo is not coming. I just would rather they decide yay or nay soon. If the Texans decide to use their cap space to extend Hopkins and front-load the contract, I'm fine with that. Draft your QB, maybe 2. Fix the offensive line. Improve the running game.

Sidenote: I know it will never happen but I would love drafting OJ Howard and trading CJF to NE for Malcolm Butler. Yeah I know a pipe dream.

 

You need to out-manuer them in the media and by signing a QB to convince them your out. Deek. and then sign upon release.

 

I'm sure things aren't going the way Romo prefers, but you're fooling yourself if you think Jerruh is keeping him in the dark in all of this. The goal is to do what's best for both parties.

 

i think that's how it's been for weeks. Romo wanting houston, brock traded made jerra realize it'.. "it's happening".
The houston factor is the only reason why the good will that jerra spoke of at the end of the season has gone away.

 

I think the Texans are offering draft picks but Romo wants to go to Denver.

 

???? (LULZ!)

When it comes to his brand, I dont think he gives two ***** about what Tony wants. The only thing hes worried about is the backlash that his brand would get if he didnt treat Tony right. He may not be in the dark but he sure as hell isnt in direct light. That crypt keeper looking dude will do whats best for him, forever and always. He didnt become a billionaire d******d without being a d******d.

 

That would fit in with your general perception that the Texans are in the 9th circle of hell and can do nothing right.

 

...on offense.

Defensively we've done just about everything right. Except letting Bouye go so we can spend more money on offense

 

Still don't understand the love affair with Romo dude is bound to get hurt just as he has for the past few years

 

When you are desperate you are willing to buy a lottery ticket and close your eyes and pray.

 

What's hard to understand. The Texans need a QB now. He is the best QB "available". Even if he gets injured it might buy time for the newly drafted rookie to learn for about 8 games.

 

If we are going to draft a QB either way I don't see it as a lottery ticket. Get Romo has seriously nothing but upside.
