Hector Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 They won't trade him unless the Texans can rack their brains and somehow make it work with Osweiler's money on the books. Otherwise it's the Peyton deal all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Denver is the obvious landing spot, because they can reasonably feel that Romo, if healthy, would put them back into contention. And be a stopgap while they develop Lynch and/or Siemian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidNatural Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 It could be a landing spot if Romo is released, but there's no way in hades that they trade for him. I also think that people have the Broncos going after him because they went after Peyton Manning. Romo has been a good to very good quarterback. Manning is inarguably one of the top ten of all time and arguably in the top five or best ever. There's a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APO Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The only FA for you guys I see that could command big money would be Alexander, Kevin. You'd know more than I would how they feel about Gilmore, but I think you could easily let him walk and grab a corner in the draft. As far as Romo goes, I wasn't saying that they'd trade for Romo and his massive cap hit, just that the Bills would probably have the most ideal situation, personnel/money-wise, if/when Tony gets cut and they can find a taker for Tyrod.

He's one of the bigger reasons they went from Super Bowl winners to out of the playoffs. They need a QB but probably won't get a quality one in the draft unless they trade up. (And that's ignoring the other needs they have to fill, like making sure their QB isn't decapitated on every play.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the chances of Gilmore being a Bill next year are about 10%. He wants the biggest contract he can get, which I don't blame him for, but he won't get it from the Bills. They *might* tag him, that's the only way I see him being on the team. He wants Top 5 CB money and traditionally the Bills let secondary players walk when they want the big bucks (Byrd most recently). While picking up a CB in the draft may work, they have bigger holes to fill (namely safety and probably LB if they don't resign Brown/Alexander), so I doubt they'd be able to draft someone that is Day 1 Ready in the mid-rounds. They also need WR help since their #2 and #3 WRs are FAs. There are many reasons I don't envy GMs, there are so many moving parts and while I am pro-salary cap it does make life more difficult. I really don't know what the Bills' plan is this offseason with so many free agents. I am not anti-Romo, I think he is a very good QB, I just don't think he is worth $20 million with his injury history/age unless the Bills are really confident in Cardale developing into a starter to take his place down the road.

It's all about how much teams value Tony Romo given the QB situation around the league. The draft is becoming a crapshoot for rookie QBs and it's not as if there's a bunch of Jeff Garcia types these days who can act as a decent stop-gap. If you have a semblance of a good QB it might not be worth it to take the gamble, but the Texans and Broncos have to be salivating at the chance to add Romo. It's one big game of chicken unless someone offers up anything for him. Then the Cowboys will see the picks come flying in from all sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidNatural Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm not saying that the Broncos aren't interested in Romo, but they're not going to trade for him and take that massive cap hit. If he's released, they might just go after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I imagine anyone that traded for him would do so only with the understanding that he would restructure his deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Kaep is reportedly officially done with San Fran to the surprise of no one. Will be interesting to see what kind of interest/money offers he gets. Between him and Romo, always something interesting going on each offseason.

Kevin Wilson Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 He'll get in, in all the sports they tend to make one-time assholes wait a few seasons. On one hand it isn't fair, on the other hand the voters are humans and some things are going to impact their votes. He'll probably get in next year.

dogwelder Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I can agree somewhat with Tomlinson, Warner and Anderson. Terrell Davis? He's lucky to have played on the SB teams with Elway, because we've seen Shanny be able to throw generic RBs into his scheme and get similar results. Jason Taylor? I guess because of his sack totals?

hammerva Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I wonder if guys like Jason Taylor would even be considered for the Hall of Fame if stats for sacks started in 1951 instead of 1981 or something around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 With Davis going in, TO becomes the best snubbed player. Anyone who thinks Davis didn't belong is insane. Le'Veon Bell is the closest we've seen to TD in the nearly two decades since he got hurt. It wasn't "three great seasons" it was arguably the best three year stretch in NFL history by a running back, and none of those plug and play Shannan backs have ever been nearly as good as Davis was. The combination of vision, patience, and explosion through the hole was unprecedented and punishing him because injuries derailed him after four seasons was crazy. He should have been first ballot.

hammerva Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Looking at the list of people in basically positions 10-6 and how anyone thinks they should be even considered for the Hall of Fame is embarrassing. The idea the TO, Issac Bruce, and Joe Jacoby can't make the top 10 while guys like Ty Law and Kevin Mewae can is mind boggling. The only one in the 10-6 list I would even think of is Tony Boselli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all it took was King to change his mind after talking to Gibbs. I guess I'm still shocked that people will blindly follow King like that.
