I'm not sure which NFL show I was watching this afternoon. It could have been NFL Live or Up To The Minute. But one of the talking heads floated the scenario of Tony remaining in Dallas as the starter.
It's been a forgone conclusion that Tony will be traded or released this off-season. But this guy postulated that if Jerry feels he is a year or 2 away from winning a superbowl, he might just stick with the acquired asset that he has in Tony and flip Dak for picks. The analyst propped up his argument that Dak wasn't Jerry's first choice and they settled for Dak when all the other players they were looking at were picked. With all 31 teams seeing the success that Dak had, the guy speculated that Dak could fetch 3 #1 picks.
It seems like such a ridiculous notion that Jerry would trade away a future franchise QB, but with Jerry you never know.
Just a crazy idea that I'm sure no one has thought of and beats discussing whether a $5 fill-up would satiate Amber's appetite or would she need the entire bucket.
On the other hand, Romo is unlikely to play 16 games. Maybe Romo starts when he's healthy, and Prescott plays the rest of the time. Eventually Romo retires and Prescott is the guy.
He needs to hang them up...
These talking heads were discussing the other QB's that will be playing for a new team. And they brought up Garoppolo might bring 2 #1 picks. This guy postulated that if Garoppolo could get 2 #1's off a 2 game performance and getting a new contract. Then certainly Dak would be worth 3 #1's and he is cost controlled on a rookie contract and not eligible for a new contract for another 3 years.
It was so outlandish. But when it comes to Jerry, you never know.
There was once this really talented RB that Dallas traded to the Vikings for basically all their draft picks. You probably heard of him - Herschel Walker.

But you keep saying with Jerry you never know. What outlandish moves did he make similar to this insane proposal?

So, you have to go back that far? Most don't want to admit it but the Cowboys have done well lately. Yes, Jerry in my opinion is hurting them more than helping them but they have other people in place that stop him from making any truly outlandish moves. He wanted Manziel but was basically overruled and they took Zach Martin. So, long story short, there is no way in hell they trade Dak.
This is the slow season and I thought that it was a wild enough idea that some posters might have some discussion on the crazy possibility.

I get it but it just doesn't make sense to me. Dak saves them tremendously with respect to the salary cap. That is the best thing to happen to them with their cap situation. If he believed that much in Romo then Romo would have played more than one series at the end of the season. Dak is their guy and there is no doubt about it. It hasn't been brought up by anybody because it doesn't make sense both football-wise and financially. Romo is one play away from death let alone retirement. Their OL, their bread and butter, probably has another five year window. You don't trade Dak for one year of Romo and have to find your next QB in that short of a timeframe. Look at Cleveland, Houston, Chicago, Minnesota, NYJ, etc. They have all been looking for their QB of the future forever. When you have one you hold onto him.
Originator clearly had time and/or web space he had to fill.
I think the Cowboys are better with Romo

The whole scenario is so far out of left field that it stuck with me throughout the day. It seems so utterly ridiculous, but considering that it is believed that Garoppolo will fetch 2 #1's off a 2 game experience. What is a cost controlled 2nd year QB worth that generated the performance over an entire season like Dak did worth? Keep in mind Garoppolo will come with a new contract besides the pick compensation. Also consider it is a weak QB draft, all it takes is one QB desperate team to fall in love with the idea.
But consider the Browns and their picks. Say they give up the top pick and swap firsts (#12 with #28) with Dallas this year and also gives Dallas their 1st next year. That is 2 #1's (this year and next) and a 16 spot jump in round 1 of this year. Jerry can get his War Daddy in Garrett. Grab another defensive player at 12. If he is concerned about Romo's health for the next year, then he can sign a capable backup to hand the ball off to Zeke.
Like I said earlier, it is so outlandish. But Jerry can definitely make strides to a superbowl with better defensive talent.
It would have been a Cowboys/Patriots Super Bowl.
Dallas is definitely better with Romo, shipping him to Houston or Denver increases our chances of winning the NFC East.
Let's hope they believe in Dak and need the cap space trading Romo creates enough to get Romo out of here.
Romo is a goner.
Some stupid team like Cleveland would probably go for it.
ever also any team that dumb deserves to suck for all time
i hope dallas are that stupid romo couldnt stay healthy and choked in the playoffs his whole career in his rookie year prescot did better than romo win loss wise that OL and running game certainly helped but for a guy jerry didnt really want he certainly lucked out with the pick

Garapolo was a second round pick. ??
