NoSaint Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yep. His injury history doesn't make him any more likely to get injured next year. I'd make the move if they aren't shot in the a$$ with Taylor. The passing game would drastically improve instantly I agree with the folks that are saying he's a risk and suspect his back is pretty bad But his lack of guarantees makes that a lower risk. Pair him with a solid vet and you are spending 20m this year and have some hedging and then later a good rookie and you can spend 20m in 2018 and bail whenever needed (or possibly flip him in another trade if healthy still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) I'd give up a 3rd for Romo right now. Romo to Sammy would be fun. Maybe we get lucky and he stays healthy for a year. I'm sure we could develop an offense that could minimize QB hits, especially with our run game. Strong run game and Romo play action is a recipe for success I agree. Obviously the Bills would create a run heavy attack. But Romo is known to just be a gunslinger. But a healthy Romo to Sammy or Clay would be an automatic shot to the offense in addition to having McCoy out of the backfield. Problem is can he stay healthy?

BuffaloRebound Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 No thanks. 37 year old QB who hasn't played the last 2 years. Doesn't look like he takes care of himself like Brady. Let the Jets have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 If Bills got Romo, they will need to address O line. In particular RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 No idea, I'm speculating on where I would feel comfortable We've seen lots of speculation ranging all over. I normally knock fans for overusing conditional picks in scenarios but this seems exactly the spot where a mid round pick that escalates would make sense.

peterpan Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 3rd rounder for romo seems really high to me. Not a trade I would make. Best place for Romo is backup in Dallas. That's where he should want to be too. Old and broken QB who should be relegated to backup duty hopefully never seeing the field again but raking in millions in the process.

QB Bills Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Also, I have no respect for a quarterback who can throw a pick six to Chris Kelsay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Dallas probably has the best OL in football and they couldn't keep him healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Good point but I'm sure Dallas would prefer the pick not be conditional Clearly. But it might be how they maximize returns on him if they are willing - it shares the risk and likewise reward. I suppose it would be more like a mid rounder this and then mid-late next that can move up too for that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelle Getty Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I would do it in a second. But you have to remember this is the Cowboys and their "priorities" change day to day. If Dak lays an egg today Romo could be starting week 1 next year for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'd add the Jets and depending on who ends up there as GM and HC the 49ers to the list of possible destinations. Buffalo San Francisco Houston New York Jets 1) Houston.....near home......top ranked D.....Hopkins.....probably take a paycut......but Jerry probably doesn't want him in-state. 2) Denver.....championship pedigree team.....QB friendly organization 3) LA Rams.....top young offensive mind at HC.......relatively talented young roster......up for grabs division and team has a history of beating Seahawks......chance to build off field resume in major media market....Rams could use a big name to create interest 4) NY Jets......VERY nice WR corps and decent run game.....otherwise comparable talent to Buffalo......major media market to get started on post football career.....no realistic chance to win division. 5) Bills.........last resort.....new, unproven coach/staff......Watkins and McCoy but results skewed by unique QB/system........organization with huge losing stigma in a near impossible situation wrt winning the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Two years from romo? At this point id be happy to take two consecutive games. That's asking to much if we still have Mills at RT...more like two consecutive drives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone sees only the negative like people here do. Actually I forgot Arizona......that would bump the Bills down to 6th. It's about fits for Romo........Buffalo is not a great one for a fragile old QB who is used to the spotlight and looking for one last SB shot and surely contemplating life after football.

Kirby Jackson Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm cool with Romo. He presents some obvious risks but has been a good QB for a long time. He is the only potential option that I see as an upgrade from TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
