Chiefs Making the case for Tony Romo... - Page 7

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.

The OP says to draft one this year too. No one is suggesting to put all your eggs in the Romo basket.

i mean as a stop gap romo > smith, as long as hes healthy

i wouldnt mind rolling with homo while we draft and groom a qb. its not bad idea. was talking with my friend about this and he brought it up before i did (and hes not even a chiefs fan)

An old broke dick Cowboy who's never won a playoff game. No thanks.

JCBRAVE · 01-17-2017, 09:35 AM

Tony. Romo?

have you people lost your minds?

FloridaMan88 · 01-17-2017, 09:51 AM

I think Romo is done physically being a full time starter.

He'll be 37 years old in April and he has had multiple back and collar bone issues during the past few years.

The chances he would stay healthy more than a few games as a starting QB is unlikely.

KINGPIN CHIEFS FAN · 01-17-2017, 10:20 AM

If you could get him without much guaranteed money or give him an incentive laden contract contingent on the number of games he plays then it would be a big upgrade over Alex. Andy designs his gameplans according to his quarterbacks ability. McNabb and Foles were allowed to throw downfield a lot more than Alex does. Andy knows Alex's limitations and has a lot of restraints on him. Bringing Romo in could give us a good chance to go deep in the playoffs next year if we get him to sign a friendly contract. Romo wants a ring and he might be lured to Kansas City to get it.

This...

Even if healthy Romo is a playoff choke artist. Why would we want that?

Coochie liquor · 01-17-2017, 11:11 AM

Getting him would mean an attempt at "win now" mode. We do t have the defense, or o line to win now.

Chief_For_Life58 · 01-17-2017, 11:20 AM

Absolutely not. What do you do when he breaks his dick in week 2? Play tyler bray the rest of the season? lmao

So you'd rather keep Alex and have a repeat of this past season? Doing the same thing over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Change is scary but not changing is even scarier.
