If he can stay healthy, and that is a major question mark, Tony Romo could swing the balance of power in the NFL. His salary however is a major roadblock for several teams in need of a Quarterback. Clarence Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram brings news that Romo would be willing to redo his deal as well as several other scenarios this offseason.
First, Hill said that Romo won’t be traded to or sign with Washington. “That’s not happening,” Hill said.
Second, Hill reinforced the notion that Jones and Romo will have a wink-nod deal as to where he will or won’t go, if Romo eventually is cut.
Third, Hill said the Cowboys at least for now are waiting for a trade offer to materialize, possibly from the Broncos or Texans, in the hopes that Romo would accept the deal.
Fourth, Hill said Jones told reporters recently that he already has spoken to Romo, and that Jones said he has gone over all scenarios with Romo, which would allow a decision to be made quickly if necessary.
Fifth, Hill believes Romo would be inclined to take a Greg Hardy-type contract that pays Romo based on the number of games he eventually plays. That could make it easier for a team like the Broncos or Texans to justify adding Romo. If he plays, he gets paid. If he doesn’t play, he doesn’t get paid.
If you remember back to last season, the Broncos had the parameters of a trade set-up for Colin Kaepernick but could not re-work his contract. Romo being amenable to renegotiate his deal gives him more options in this QB needy market.
