Chiefs Rumor: Romo to Chiefs talk heating up?

Maybe the biggest NFL offseason question is where Tony Romo will land next season — with one insider saying there are two new leaders.

With only six and a half months to go until the 2017 NFL season kicks off, people in the state of Texas and across the country are asking themselves the same thing: where will the Dallas Cowboys send their quarterback of the past, Tony Romo?

After a wonderful season in 2016 from rookie signal caller Dak Prescott, it became a given to most (except for maybe the man in charge, owner Jerry Jones) that Romo was going to be on the way out of Dallas. Now, everyone seems on the same page that Prescott is going to be the man for a while — and Romo is soon to be a former member of the Cowboys.

For a while, many thought he would head to the Denver Broncos … some even said a team like the Miami Dolphins. Now, one of the top NFL insiders — Peter King from TheMMQB.com — thinks it’s going to be one of two AFC playoffs teams from last season: the Kansas City Chiefs or the Houston Texans.

During his latest piece, King explained the pros for each team landing Romo:

The 2017 season will be (Houston coach Bill) O’Brien’s fourth. He’s made the playoffs twice in three seasons, with Brian Hoyer and Brock Osweiler his forgettable quarterbacks, and O’Brien knows this is a vital year for him and for his program. With Romo, O’Brien would have the veteran winner he’s longed for—and a coachable one.
In Kansas City, Andy Reid has seen the ceiling of Alex Smith, and it is nice. Reid has never minded upsetting the apple cart for a potentially special player. Romo would be that. Smith is mature enough to take this, to understand the addition of Romo would be good for the team.

There’s a decent argument that could be made for both teams, as well as maybe a half dozen other squads throughout the NFL. Houston seems to be in much more in need of a decent quarterback — after the $72 million Osweiler experiment blew up in their face — since Smith still has talent.

Where Romo ends up has an effect on other quarterbacks throughout the NFL and those looking to get drafted this year. Whoever doesn’t get Romo likely becomes the leader for New England Patriots backup Jimmy Garoppolo. There are quarterbacks like Deshaun Watson, Mitch Trubinsky and others waiting to hear their name called this April. Once again, the whole world is on Tony Romo’s back — which isn’t a good thing after surgery.

This one says whoever (between Texans and us) doesn't get Romo becomes the leader for Garoppolo.

While not a huge fan of this, we did bring Garoppolo in for a visit back in 2014. We didn't have a 2nd round pick that year because of the Smith deal with the 49ers. He was gone by our 3rd round pick.

Not sure if Chiefs had any interest in Garoppolo beyond that visit, but he could be in play... like it or not.

Its a legit observation, one I've held for a long time now and one pretty much everyone has known about for a long time now... Smith underutilizes his receivers

Smiff is a perfectly valid point of discussion when talking about Maclins productivity, or lack thereof

3rd and long situation, Sorensen substitutes in to protect against the pass. CP village idiot comments he sucks against the run. Tell me what is wrong with this picture.

For as much shit Smith gets for his play against the Steelers Maclin deserves some too. There was a play in the game he turned the wrong way on a deep ball had he turned the right way it's a big completion and a score. They'll need to do something with his contract it's a shame the cap situation has got this team in.

Holy hell you are dumb. He substitutes in for the nickle package of course he isn't good against the run :facepalm:

The Chiefs play nickel more than just 3rd down and teams audible to run the ball.

I'd say that's the problem, but for you it's just the tip of the iceberg.

No way. Dorsey and Reid will go all in this offseason to win the SB.

There will be absolutely zero eyes towards the future.

Do you have proof of this? Because I saw it, as well as the broadcasters and analysts after the game, as an errant pass that would have been a touchdown if thrown within a few yards of the correct spot.

What does this mean exactly?

When healthy, the Chiefs are pretty good everywhere. I can't really see where they can make a big move unless it's the quarterback position.
