peliminary talks as of yesterday, but not anything serious.

No, I don't want him. I don't think he'll be a successful NFL QB at all. |
I would have agreed with this until I saw Russell Wilson play the second half of the season and the playoffs. I think Johnny Football would succeed in the right type of offense. |
I guess it will all depend on how he develops over the next year or so.
That said, I like Wilson. I don't like Manziel. Two completely different attitudes. One professional, one immature and self-serving. It's one reason why I don't want anything to do with Tyler Bray. |
Because none of us were immature and self-serving when we were 20 years old, right. Cut the kid some slack and let him have some fun in college. It just gets blown out of proportion because of who he is now. If he wouldn't have won the Heisman than many people would let him slide. Accuracy is prefered in the league as you rarely see some one throw a pass over 30 yards since most defenses protect against the big play. I would rather have a QB that was deadly accurate, but only have average arm strength.

I was almost as awesome at 20 as I am today. Almost.

If that really is true, I see zero reason why we wouldn't go ahead and just shop him around.

Hey Madd, I'm a little dumb when it comes to the cap hit thing...why if Romo's contract expires after 2013 would Dallas have a $20 million dead cap next season? Is that his guaranteed money coming off the books that we would be accounting for?
Thanks buddy

We have money already paid out that we were allowed to spread the cap hit out into the future. When a player is cut or their contract voided, all that pro rated cap hit comes forward.

Well I guess it's the first time I can say. I'm excited we didnt make a big signing in free agency. Looks like Romo's final year. Boom or bust.

Why? If he is on Dallas this year, his last two years are voided.

| I've always been a big Romo fan and even a bit of an apologist at times but I hope this report is true. Let him play out this year and reevaluate your QB position next offseason. Im fairly confident Jerry would still have the upper hand in getting a deal with Romo done next offseason if they deem that is the best route for the future. I've actually been hoping Romo would pull a little Flacco have the courage to bet on himself or maybe even go full Eli on us all and declare himself as good as brady or peyton etc. |

Because we've already paid Romo the money... that money doesn't just disappear - it has to count against the cap and it hasn't yet because we pro-rated it. Once it voids, it accelerates to this year.
Now the actual amount I posted above was an overstatement - it's actually $8.181m - the problem is you can't turn around and franchise Romo b/c then you're tacking another $15-16m on top of the $8m and suddenly your QB is counting $24m against the cap.
What I think is far more likely is that they let Romo play into the 2013 season and then resign him half way into the year like they did with him back in 2007/2008. They did the same thing with Miles Austin and I think Jay Ratliff.
Is it possible they let him walk and become a free agent? I suppose, I just highly doubt it. Not when they know they can trade him now and get a huge haul if they know they're going to land in the same spot either way.
