Looks like he's on the books for $16.9M and he would count $7.2M dead money.

Romo is better at everything. Even as far as injuries go, its basically a wash.

Neither comes without great risk.

Hack, he doesn't know shit

Mort better be drunk.

Elway is a beast

A trade would avoid a drawn out soap opera-like saga with hourly "Where is Romo Going to Land" updates.

Screw that...

No shit. Didn't they have a helicopter follow Manning around when he landed in Denver? Now that was a soap opera.

Elway must really want to trade Siemian for some reason and doesn't want to risk losing Romo to the Texans like he did with Brock last year.

I think this is all last minute smoke and mirrors by Jerry... trying to get something rather than nothing.

It would be surprising since he's going to be released...

I think it's a last minute effort to drive a trade... someone take John to the bar or the golf course, quick.

Don't the Texans already have a big contract to pay Dorkwilder? Giving up on him after 1 year? If I'm the owner I don't think I'd be happy with that.

Now getting some backpedal on Siemian/Jets/Bromcos talk. But Romo as a trade rather than release is still alive.

Walk it back, walk it all back...

Maybe the Texans are panicking and want to ensure they get Romo???

Romo now expected to be traded, not released.Tony Romo is expected to be traded, rather than released, by the Cowboys, league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. The Broncos and Texans are both in play, according to sources.

If there are Tony Romo trade talks happening, few in either of the two buildings discussed know about it. Cowboys keeping options open.

Not when it comes to drafting OL.:rolleyes:

After considering Denver, Calais Campbell is going to sign a 4-year, $60 million deal that includes $30M gtd with Jacksonville, per source.

Now that cuck can shut the **** up about Elway

Yep, Calais is headed to the Jags and reports now say that Romo was never going to be waived. Weird.

Good lord, Jacksonville. $15M per year?

Also, the LDT contract doesn't look that bad now already. Guards are getting paid big.

Former Bengals G Kevin Zeitler expects to sign with Cleveland, per sources. Big day for Browns O line. Highest paid guard in NFL history.

Manning effect is dead. Pats will experience the same effect when Brady's done. FA want money.

Warford
Zeitler

4 G's who have or will get more $$ than LDT before he even plays a snap on the new deal.

Browns set to make Kevin Zeitler the highest paid guard in NFL history.

Jerry just can't let Romo walk.

Eagles | Alshon Jeffery favoring Eagles
Thu, 09 Mar 2017 11:33:29 -0800

Chicago Bears impending free-agent WR Alshon Jeffery is leaning towards signing with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a source.

Jeffery, one of the most coveted players on the free-agent market, makes sense for the Eagles. Philadelphia really needs receiving help in addition to Jordan Matthews, and Torrey Smith doesn't exactly scratch that itch. If Jeffery does join the Eagles, he'll remain a low-end WR1 to high-end WR2 with impressive sophomore quarterback Carson Wentz.

Source: ESPN.com - Josina Anderson

Cleveland plans to give Kevin Zeitler a five-year, $60 million deal that includes $31 .5 million guaranteed, per source.

For a guard? WTF, that LDT deal is looking real good now. Dorsey is a machine

Semen to the Jets trade. It's done.

Would they do that move unless they had a trade set for Romo?

So, several minutes later and still nothing on Twitter.

They draft Lynch using like 3 picks. Yes I think they might.

It's all over the radio but not totally official yet. Kinda like Dallas releasing Romo. Still hasn't happened.

Ah... fabricating. Gotcha.

But... Campbell has family and is sentimental about growing up in Denver!

If Horseface had any class at all, he would have upped his offer to make this man's dream come true. Now he has to fester in Jacksonville with all that cash.

Right, Knowmo?

ROFL

...one of the top 3 OGs in football. A dominant player.

This is like the third time I've seen someone compare the Doc's salary to a new deal while completely ignoring that he doesn't even sniff their level of play.

It's in the Mane. They started it.

Tax free and has the beach.

His level of plays doesn't compare but at least the level of the contracts has jumped up so fast that it's not a complete disaster.

next up at qb for washington, jay cutler. the perfect man for that job.

"just send me the paycheck bruce, dont care bout nothing else"

or actually sniff their level of pay

until 2019, when again, he'll no longer sniff their level of pay

Oh I know how good he is, but when you're a garbage team that needs more help than oline you don't pay 12m/year for a ****ing guard

6 million in dead money if he's a Pre-June cut in 2019

I'd have rather signed Ron Leary for 4 - $35M personally

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> WOW

Wtf.

Romo is going to Houston

Yup

Holy shit haha

Completely disagree.

1. you gotta start somewhere. Winning in the trenches isn't a bad place at all for a bad team to start working on getting better. After all, where are you going to put the money? WR when you have no QB?

2. Browns have a STUPID amount of cap space, and a STUPID number of draft picks. They also need talent upgrades everywhere. It's increasingly hard to get good OL help from the draft due to the way the college game is changing. If you have a guy you think can really improve your OL, and crazy amounts of cap space, why not.

3. Due is 25 years old. 5 year deal makes perfect sense.

4. You're the ****ing Browns. You ain't getting no discounts, and you may have to overpay to get guys you want.

5. You're in the AFC North, known for brutal, punishing defenses, especially in the front 7. A good mauler on the OLine is pretty important.

Hard to tell with him playing in the Oline in Dallas. He could have been propped up by everyone else. He's older as well.

I would have thought there would have been some kind of option other than paying a guard that much money.

Oh, well.

holy ****!!


LMAO

Cleveland, you morons

So Houston gave a 2nd round pick and Osweiler to Browns for nothing more that to wipe a contract off their books?

What is Houston getting back in return?

That's my question.

So Cleveland got a QB and a second round pick for nothing??

Yep, but it was a HUGE ass contract.


This frees Houston up to sign Romo and go about having a normal free agent period. They weren't going to be able to do all that with Osweilers anchor of a contract around their necks.

To take on a contract. This is like an NBA trade.

lol rid of that contract. That's it.

Not really.

Cleveland gets -- Osweiler, Houston 2017 6th round pick and 2018 2nd round pick.

Houston gets -- Cleveland 2017 4th round pick, and gets rid of Oweiler's contract.


Cleveland, with MAMMOTH cap space, pays Osweiler for one year of his deal/salary and gets a 2nd round pick in a very deep draft out of it. NBA-style trade. Pretty smart.

Cleveland now has 2 1sts and 3 2nds in a draft everyone says is great. Plenty of ammo to trade for Garoppolo or whoever they want at QB. Osweiler doesn't solve the QB issue, as everyone knows.

Cleveland probably releases Brock. Cap space out the ying yang. Add a 2nd round pick.

Bucs will win the NFC South. That offense will be amazing to watch
Posted via Mobile Device

No. Brock's 2017 salary $16MM is fully guaranteed. So bottom line -- Cleveland spends $16MM to get a 2nd, and move back from 4 to 6. Seems pretty damn smart to me (if you have WAAY too much cap space).

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...ston/81563106/

:facepalm:

Note also the signing bonus acceleration is all on Houston's books, not Cleveland, so Cleveland -- once they cut Brock after 2017, will have no dead cap space and no acceleration.

Crap. 2nd rounder is next year, so not quite. But still, looking good for Cleveland:

If Cleveland doesn't hit on these two draft, they never will.

Yeah, pressure is on them to use all this draft capital wisely. they now have more ammo to trade for Garoppolo, or Romo, or whoever also if they want.

Didn't think about that part

That helps Cleveland out a lot.

**** Garrapolo. Draft your own player
