so Tony Romo cleared up $13M in cap space today ...
 
(of course, like JJ Watt and Tom Brady, it means nothing, since they don't lose a single $ in the deal)

...

yet there are no articles on ESPN or Yahoo or anywhere talking about how great of a person this guy is!

GEE

WEIRD

!

A source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that it wasn’t a negotiated restructuring, but an automatic conversion of $16 million of Romo’s base salary to a signing bonus. His salary for 2015 becomes $1 million.

National media has to maintain the narrative of Romo being a jerk. Makes it easier for people to root against him.

Romo did next to nothing, he actually benefits from it. He gets his entire year's salary upfront in one lump sum.


It's the Cowboys that did this, they are the only ones who lose/pay something.

The guy is lucky Bill Parcells gave him a chance (even though he publicly didn't want to) because the deck was stacked against Romo.

If he goes to another team, who knows if he ever sees the field.

Uhm Romo beat out Drew Henson, the team's glory boy, for 2nd string because he was so good in practice/preseason.

Hell, before Romo even became a starter I watched him play ONE preseason game and I was like, "holy shit." He was actually the talk of the NFL that year. In a 4 QB league in fantasy I took him in one of the final rounds and it was one of the best picks I've ever had.

...he had to put him in for Bledsoe. And as soon as he did, he was an instant star.

Tony Romo is the most underrated QB in NFL history.

when JJ Watt did the same thing he was a front page headline on ESPN and it was dubbed "Watt: The Gift that Keeps on Giving to the Texans."

Must be nice to be a major media market. Get away with murder.

Pablo 04-01-2015 05:11 PM

Tony Romo deserves to be hated simply because he is a Cowboy. I don't want anything positive to ever happen for that franchise and I'm really, really cool with Romo getting no positive press for this.

Without question. Put him on a better team in his career than Dallas and he's a no-doubt HOFer.

Why the **** do you care?
