Would the Cowboys take Manziel.. If he is there at 16?

Absolutely.

Means they pass on a good defensive player.

They won't think that way though. Getting Manziel would be a move in the right direction of them from strictly a football perspective. I'm not saying Manziel will or will not be a good pro.

but the QB controversy the second Romo chokes will be priceless.

What do you do with Romo. His cap hit and dead money are as follows:

2014 - cap hit 11.7m dead money - 41.6M
2015 - cap hit 27.7m dead money - 19.9m
2016 - cap hit 17.6m dead money - 11.6m

that is a huge amount of money

Unless they restructure Homo I believe they are tied in to his deal until 2017. It would be unwise for them to cut him but since when are they wise. JF is an ACL waiting to happen and I went to A&M.

Again, BBI is convinced there is no upside, whatsoever, of letting other teams know what you generally think about a position or a player prior to the Draft.

then you bring in Manziel who won't choke. Kinda reminds me of when the Cowboys used Dandy Don Meridith for running downs and Eddie LeBarron(sp?) for passing downs. (Grin!)

Romo isn't getting any younger but manziel will be gone by 16

they move up in front of us to get him.

If their window has passed, what has the Giants'? Lapped them?

They're not going to blow it up fully and rebuild until Romo can't go anymore -- and, while the individual moves they make in following it may not be smart or work out, that general sentiment is 100% right.

that 28m cap hit in 2015 is utterly hilarious.

money are paying Romo. If they wanted to rebuild they should have let him go. If they draft JM, then what? You can't get rid of Romo and can't play JM.

If this report came out now, then I say smoke screen. Just another bullshit report coming out weeks before draft day.

The more teams behind us (that need QB) think that Dallas is serious about taking Johnny football, the more likely it is that we can find a trade partner to move down a bit in the first

If it weren't for the cap hit for Romo, Johnny Football would be a good fit in Dallas.

And we thought out cap management was bad with Beatty. Holy shit!

Then cut bait on Romo.

Jones didn't just sign Romo to a huge contract they can't get out of to start rebuilding. Romo still has a couple of good years left so Jones is going to try and get playmakers at other positions to keep up the illusion that this team is only a couple of pieces away.

The NFC East is weak enough that they can still compete for a division title with what they have now. As long as that is the case the Cowboys will not be looking to the future, but to next year.

if the Cowboys don't make the playoffs again in 2014 and that $27M cap hit for 2015 is staring them in the face...

Jerry will really need to get his glasses cleaned that off-season.

Don't think he wants to start a rebuild. That said, I think they would absolutely take him. Lots of publicity. Lots of people talking Cowboys. Lots of interviews for JJ. Needs of team are secondary to needs of JJ.

He would shoot up straight to my #1 most hated player if this happened.

Just for the mayhem it would cause in Dallas.
The first incomplete pass Romo throws would bring
"WE WANT JOHNNY" chants. Priceless.

thanks for the free pub!!"

Are y'all hearing this type of stuff where you're at? About a month ago I recall an ESPN story pretty much stating Dallas' love of Mr Football.

every day. Dallas would sell 10 million Manziel jerseys by June and be on page 1 across the country all summer. But the cap hit is too much even for JJ to bear, in my view. They cut Ware because they are become more frugal/ cap-wise and then have Romo's hit? Makes no sense.

So, with that said, say a prayer that JJ moves up to draft Johnny?

I think we're employing too much logic here. While I think JJ is probably underrated as an owner/GM, I don't think it is out of the realm of possibilities that he goes with his heart and picks JM.

Personally, I see JM as a more athletic and clutch Romo so I wouldn't be crazy about them grabbing him. Maybe he has something up his sleeve regarding Romo's contract?

if a sizeable number of BBI had it's way and extended/restructured Eli this year, that's what his numbers would look like

Wouldn't that be fun.

But I've always felt that every horse should have to asses.

Would he do it? It is the glamorous type of pick (media wise) that he gets suckered into (by himself) all the time.
