Update:

Clarence Hill reports that the Cowboys have not been contacted about a potential three-team trade involving Tony Romo being sent to the Redskins. According to Hill, he was given a quick response of “no” when he asked about the report.

• Mike Jones is told that the Redskins aren’t interested in Romo and would still like to work out a deal with Kirk Cousins. Jones adds that the only legitimate backup plan they have right now at quarterback is Colt McCoy.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, citing sources informed of the potential talks, reports that the Redskins, 49ers and Cowboys could discuss a three-team trade involving QB Kirk Cousins and QB Tony Romo at some point in the near future.

According to Rapoport, the trade would send Cousins to the 49ers, Romo to the Redskins and draft-pick compensation, including the No. 2 overall pick to the Cowboys.

Rapoport adds that the proposed trade is still in the “preliminary” stages and no serious negotiations have taken place.

This is a really surprising report, to say the least. Three-team trades rarely take place in the NFL, especially when two teams are division rivals.

Washington and representatives for Cousins met this week to discuss a long-term extension, but the two sides are reportedly still a good distance apart. In fact, Master Tesfatsion reported that the Redskins offered Cousins $20 million per year, which is short of the $24 million he’ll make under the franchise tag this year.

The 49ers are clearly the team to watch for Cousins whether it’s a trade this year or as a potential landing spot as a free agent in 2018.

The Redskins officially placed the exclusive franchise tag on Cousins Tuesday. The exclusive tag prevents other teams from negotiating with him during free agency, but the Redskins are still fully able to trade him to another team and give him permission to speak to a team about a long-term extension.

Cousins, 28, is a former fourth-round pick of the Redskins back in 2012. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2,572,688 rookie contract that included a $472,688 signing bonus when Washington elected to use the franchise tag on Cousins that paid him $19.953 million fully guaranteed for the 2016 season.

In 2016, Cousins has appeared in all 16 games and thrown for 4,917 yards while completing 67 percent of his passes to go along with 25 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 8 quarterback out of 36 qualifying players.

Romo, 36, is entering the fourth year of his seven-year, $119.5 million contract that included $55 million guaranteed. He stands to make base salaries of $14 million (2017), $19.5 million (2018) and $20.5 million (2019).

According to OverTheCap.com, releasing or trading Romo would free up $5.1 million in available cap space while creating a staggering $19.6 million in dead money, which figures to be a huge consideration for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys could improve those figures to $14 million of cap savings and $10.7 million of dead money if they were to designate him as a post-June 1 release.

In 2016, Romo appeared in one game and completed three of four passing attempts for 29 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys.

I can't see Dallas sending Romo to a division rival

 

[Ojb81]

i'd be utterly shocked to see this actually happen.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I can't see Dallas sending Romo to a division rival

Never in a million years...

 

[Bmurph]

I can't see Dallas sending Romo to a division rival

Likely no chance and Romo would likely never approve this but......

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Never in a million years...

I can't be the only one who thinks it's absurd the Cowboys would be getting the 2nd overall pick in this whole schtick as well as written.

 

[Bmurph]

I can't be the only one who thinks it's absurd the Cowboys would be getting the 2nd overall pick in this whole schtick as well as written.

The whole premise is a little far fetched in that Dallas could end up with the 49ers pick and Washington ends up with a broken Tony Romo as compensation for Cousins. Washington cant want to be rid of Cousins that bad I wouldn't think

 

[broncosmitty]

I can't see Dallas sending Romo to a division rival

For the #2 pick?

I'm sure they would.

 

[SteelersPride]

if dallas gets the #2 pick out of this, then WOW, then id trade down in the first and grab a DB and WR and looookout

 

[SteelersPride]

like lets say corey davis in the mid late round 1

 

[cdumler7]

The article has it written wrong. Washington would get the #2 pick in the draft then send a late round pick to Dallas for Romo.

 

[wood20ks]

For the #2 pick?

I'm sure they would.

And love it.........

 

[broncosmitty]

And love it.........

I'm not sure what the threshold would be for caring who Romo plays for next year.


But it's gotta be a lot lower than the second pick.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

You aren't.

No way ever.

JJ would be salivating at the chance to get the 2nd pick...........It`d be like "it was fun Tony,but you gots to go".

 

[Breed]

I must've missed it, but other than royally fucked with a red hot poker. Which if you look at the shit the Skins have done concerning trades in the Snyder Era, might be all Snyder wants. What else do the Redskins get out of this deal?

 

[Tapey]

its not gay if its a 3 way

 

[Manster7588]

including the No. 2 overall pick to the Cowboys.

I'm still holding onto hope Dallas can find a way to keep Romo but if this happens count me in.

Well, if it helps, in the last year I have purchased a Skins freezer mug, a Skins beach towel and just received last week a beauty Skins fleece 50" by 60" blanket.

Their sales or memorabilia will soar.

Not that I care about Snyder and the Skins mind you, just keeping the logo out there.....

Is in less than 20? cause other wise you will run out of fingers and toes.
