Chiefs Making the case for Tony Romo... - Page 2

pugsnotdrugs19 · 06:06 PM

Right now, the Chiefs have just over $5 million in cap space. For 2017's league year, they are set to have around $5 million. Upon rolling over this year's cap space, they will have around $10 million before ever making a roster move.

My preferred approach to the offseason would be picking up Romo and drafting a QB early. My preference (right now) would be Pat Mahomes from Texas Tech. Here is how the Chiefs could do all of this without blowing things up.

1. Cut Alex Smith, void Nick Foles' contract. First off, Foles' void is a no-brainer. It saves over $10 million. Next, if the Chiefs do decide they want Romo, you move on from Smith. Some say they can't cut him yet, and I don't know why. Sure, it would result in $7.2 million in dead money. But it also saves $9.7 million. That alone is enough to keep Eric Berry, and the cap space total jumps to over $30 million.

Hypothetically, with $30 million the Chiefs could keep Berry, bring Romo and a draft class in, and still have room to make a few moves. But lets say they get greedy...

2. Cut Jamaal Charles. This one, I do not want to see. I think we could work out a large pay cut before hand and keep a potential good running back. But, if not, this adds another $7 million. They now sit at $37 million in cap room to do what they want.

So basically what I am telling you is that if the guys at OTC know their shit, the Chiefs could replace Alex and Foles with Romo and a draft pick for a smaller price. They also would have the available money to keep Berry, and even Poe if they please. Seems like a no-brainer to me, if they can pull it off.

So many saying no, yet you know that as long Andy and Alex are together this team will never go the distance....

This year's draft is one of the absolute worst in recent memory for QBs. Stupid plan is stupid.

Denver didn't say that.

They might improve their relationship if they try a threesome. Hire an OC for crying out loud.

Romo can't carry a team on his back like fivehead could. Broncos defense isn't dominate like last years so go ahead and take Romo.

Jay Glazer said yesterday morning that they were rolling with Lynch and Siemian. Glazer knows his shit.

That's the type of stupid cliche thinking that has teams drafting Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel in the first round. Right now, Alex Smith is a better QB than Romo because Alex is probably going to play 16 games. I'll take 16 games of an average QB over 4 games of a slightly above average QB any day.

Keep Smith and continue to look for his replacement in the draft. Not the first round this year because there is only one QB worth a first round pick and the Chiefs would have to give up way too much to trade up for him.

No, that's the type of thinking that got Oakland Derek Carr, or Seattle Russell Wilson, or lucked Dallas into Dak Prescott.

I'm all for waiting to find the right guy, but we can't say that he isn't going to be in this draft.

Nothing's ever worked out for me with tuna on toast. I want the complete opposite of tuna on toast. Chicken salad, on rye, untoasted ... and a cup of tea.

If you want the Chiefs to use a fourth round pick on Mahomes, that's great. Reaching for a QB in this draft would be stupid though. This QB class is weak as ****.

Deberg_1990 · 01-16-2017, 06:21 PM

I like Romo, but I don't believe his body will hold up over an entire season.

I'd rather go 'all in' on a guy like Deshaun Watson and trade up if need be.

Fran Tarnkenton, 3rd Round
Roger Staubach, 10th Round
Kurt Warner, Undrafted
Bart Starr, 199th overall Pick
Johnny Unitas, Round 9, 102 overall pick
TOM ****ING BRADY, 6th Round
Joe Montana, Round 3

Dak was drafted what? 3rd or 4th round?

Why do you have to draft a Quarterback in the 1st round?

Mahomes is a projected 1st-2nd round pick with an extremely high ceiling.
