Maury Ballstein Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Why? Because LaConjecture said so? Or because he will be available soon and the bills have no passing game.
CanadianFan Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) I was thinking its the Cowboys, or Romo's agent trying to create false interest in an old, broken down QB. yeah fans are smarter than most give credit for. that's exactly what this is. it's not worth even discussing! Get a QB you can build on. This guy will be nothing but frustrating to have on your team. when he's healthy he'll be great one moment shyt the next. and then he gets injured after a great game and everyone will be talking about what if what if. I'm DONE with WHAT IFS. and that's what having a Romo means. What IFs.... On the other hand... that's what Bills are.. a What IF team. So, maybe this is a match made in heaven.

re enlightener Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 i seriously want tyrod over romo, why get a guy who couldnt play the last 2 seasons for his team and is 37, rivers id take, not romo. tyrod can play for years and the fact that denver and az want him is very telling, they see what tools he has even if some here cant.

Yeah the 37 year old thing is another big knock against Romo. His game is going to drop off considerably any year now and it could be as early as this year. Nobody knows. Too big of a risk. No point betting on him at this point in his career. And didn't Whaley say they were building for the future? Signing A guy who is 37 and physically hammered is not exactly building for the future, at least not beyond a year. The idea of the Bills being interested in him seems like hogwash.

In that you could immediately get out of the deal with no dead money instead of a guy being tied to your next 3 caps at minimum at 10m plus it does give you much more future flexibility to trade for a vet If spending your top pick on a qb this year being able to drop romo at your convenience is huge for building a future, potentially. But could have kolb/EJ too so.... Edited February 3, 2017 by NoSaint

Link: http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/354126/report-bills-have-significant-romo-interest?ls=roto:DAL:topheadlines Romo, when healthy, is a very good QB. But man, this guys body has failed him. This feels like a potential disaster. The only way this would make any sense is if we also kept Tyrod IMO as you have to figure the odds are very high that Romo will miss time, and could at some point be lost for the season. So, it would be imperative that there was a good replacement in the event of an injury. I also put little faith into these stories at this point of the season as most have more to do with opinions and assumptions than real facts. So, this should be interesting.

But could've kolb/EJ too so.... It wouldn't be the same as Kolb unless Romo really sucked at quarterback, which I don't think he would do. Yeah, you could get out after one year if you signed him to a one or two year deal. Why would Romo want to come to Buffalo for just a year or two? Bills aren't close enough to a championship - or at least I don't think most people in the league would think they are. I think he would know that he is just a temporary gap filler QB if he came to Buffalo at this point with the new coaching staff here. How could he ever expect otherwise. Nobody is going to rebuild a team around a 37 year old QB. Do you think? Romo would no doubt rather go to a team that was in the playoffs recently. Don't you think?
simpleman Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 As much as I’d enjoy seeing Romo play for the Bills this year, he would basically be another expensive bridge QB. It would be in best long term interest of the Bills to avoid hiring a cap expensive QB or taking the option on TT’s contract. Neither TT or Romo are long term solutions. Until the numerous holes are filled in the Bills roster, neither will ever lead the Bills to a Superbowl. It is time to find an inexpensive vet QB, continue developing Jones, and selecting another rookie QB in this years draft.( although not wasting a 1st round pick on talent not worthy of such a pick in a weak draft). Let the vet start, and give each of the youngsters a chance at playing time to evaluate them when the game situation allows it during the regular season. Use the cap savings to resign our most valuable FAs, sign a few FAs for positions of need such as RT, WR & S. Use the draft to fill those holes that we don’t fill in FA. Build the team for the future. And if next year there is a QB in the draft that appears to be a good risk as developing into a Franchise QB when we draft, take him. I know everyone wants an expensive vet QB. But again, we are not even close to being ready to go to the Superbowl with our current roster. Personally I like the idea of trading for someone like AJ McCarron if the required pick is not too much. His contract is miniscule, and he has shown potential in his NFL starts. I don’t see our record being one or two games less than it would be under TT, even in a worse case scenario. A cheap serviceable bridge QB.

I don't believe he has a no trade clause. It would just be him playing his current deal.
PolishDave Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) So you think he retires if traded? I don't believe he has a no trade clause. It would just be him playing his current deal. Nope my bad. I completely neglected the fact that he is under contract for next few years when thinking about what you wrote. Doh! You can basically disregard what I said other than the Kolb comparison thing. Looks like he would cost you $25 million against the cap for 3 years, then nothing. Tyrod would cost $16, then $17, then $17 then $10 to cut or trade after 3 years. Or yes, you could cut Romo after 1 year or 2 years because I think Dallas has to eat all that dead cap money. Seems as though you were correct sir. It does make a lot of sense if the Bills wanted a one or two year QB before launching a rookie's career. You just have the risk of him getting hurt or retiring or his game play dropping off significantly due to age. Edited February 3, 2017 by PolishDave

You can basically disregard what I said other than the Kolb comparison thing. Kolb was only in that I only meant injured and a rookie not working out. If romo starts 16 I'd expect playoffs unless disaster really hit elsewhere on the roster I don't LOVE the move but I think it's more reasonable than most are letting on (due to the dead money discussions) Edited February 3, 2017 by NoSaint

Rocky Landing Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 It just seems so unlikely to me that Romo would give up the cushiest and best paid backup position in the NFL to come here and get mashed. If he were to come here, we better make some serious upgrades to our OL, or it will be a monumental waste of money, and the 2017 season.

If he were to come here, we better make some serious upgrades to our OL, or it will be a monumental waste of money, and the 2017 season. I'm curious why people say this? I see one position that needs upgrading, no? And then we also have a strong running game that could further limit QB hits
Alphadawg7 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I'm curious why people say this? I see one position that needs upgrading, no? And then we also have a strong running game that could further limit QB hits Well considering he had the best OL in football and a monster run game and got hurt after a handful of snaps this year to miss most the season and lose his job...I don't see how what you said lowers his risk of injury here. People forget that he's been seriously hurt in like 3 of his last 5 meaningful snaps in the NFL outside of his week 17 brief appearance.
billykaykay Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I don't know what that means. Not at the end, but near.
