I mean what the hell did Reptec say so bad. He made one debatable point, and it was big I agree- but the rest was spot on
Maybe it's simply because he's troll so much some here don't want anything to do with him
If that is the case they have a valid case.

See this is what I don't understand. He makes his statements and there is most of the time something that will make someone bite. If people really dislike the guy, why not put him on ignore. I get put on ignore for basically nothing.

I've put one person on ignore and removed it about 3 days later. If you ignore someone then another responds to him you only get 1/2 of the conversation. If rep wasn't such of an ass constantly he would be told to F Off so often.

I would prefer that idiot just come out and say "I'm here to be a dick" because that is the exact intent. That is some passive aggressive BS, that he thinks someone believes and its in almost all of his posts when he's starting a trolling conversation.

He comes to the Cowboys board to intentionally troll and he knows what the fuck he's doing. If he just kept it in the smack talk thread I wouldn't have a problem with it but he comments on the team boards other threads just enough, to keep himself from getting put in the penalty box or banned. He's nothing but a troll and a shitty one.

Hey RTO why don't you run over to the Skins board and give him a hand job over there, you might find it more welcoming than this board

I don't go to other team's boards, other than to congratulate them or make a positive comment or ask a legitimate question. I certainly don't go there looking to rile their fans up all the while saying I'm not here to be a cocksucker, while being an asshat. Saying something stupid like "Cowboys would have been in the SB had Romo played since week 10". Totally fabricated to start shit and something that could never be validated anyway

Mentally romo wants to play. Sadly he is a broken down old man that can no longer take the punishment. We keep riding the Dak wave. He is the future. He is 100% committed to football unlike romo. Romo spent too many off seasons playing golf when he should have been watching film



The ignorance is strong with you.

I was only giving my opinion about your QB situation, I wasn't smacking at all. My only point was that had Romo, a seasoned veteran, taken the team back around week 10 when he was healthy he may have started the game hot and given you guys TD's instead of FG's. End the half tied at 21. Your team dominated the 2nd half. Of course it's only speculation but you knew you were playoff bound when he was ready,, why not throw him back in. I think a rookie would have understood, and not been tainted had he been called back to duty had Romo been hurt again.

All I was saying. View it as being a dick up to you, but it was just an opinion on this national forum board.

Tony Romo reportedly expects to be released, not traded by Cowboys
Being released would allow Romo to pick his destination rather than having it picked for him



It has long been expected that Tony Romo will not be with the Dallas Cowboys by the time this offseason is over. The Cowboys caught lightning in a bottle when they drafted Dak Prescott in the fourth round of last year’s draft, and Prescott’s play while Romo was out with yet another back injury made it clear that he’s the Cowboys’ quarterback of the future. Romo still wants to play, though, so the leaguewide consensus has been that the Cowboys will either trade or release him this offseason.

According to a report from ESPN’s Ed Werder, Romo expects to be released, not traded.

There had previously been reports that there would be a robust trade market for Romo’s services, which makes sense given his track record and the lack of high-level quarterbacks available this offseason. His age and his injury history both over the long-term and in recent seasons suggest that the compensation wouldn’t be as high as a player of his skill level might normally garner, but it still seems likely that there would be some kind of market for him.

The Cowboys don’t just want to rid themselves of Romo’s deal, though. They want to do right by him. He was their starting quarterback for a decade and he is extremely close with both owner Jerry Jones and coach Jason Garrett. And being released rather than traded would afford Romo two advantages: first, he would have his pick of all 32 teams in the league rather than just the ones that are willing to pony up compensation for him; and second, he could negotiate a new deal that guaranteed him a place on his new team’s roster beyond the 2017 season. (The way his contract is currently structured all but ensures that he’d get cut after the season.)

The Cowboys would save $5.1 million against the cap if they released him straight up, dropping his cap hit from $24.7 million to $19.6 million. If they designated him as a post-June 1 release, however, they could split the cap hit over the 2017 and 2018 seasons, incurring a $12.7 million charge in the first year and $8.9 million in the second. It’d leave them without a high-level backup quarterback to Prescott and rob them of a chance to get value out of what is likely to be Romo’s final year with the team, but it would create ample space for them to, say, go out and address their issues along the defensive front.

It’s a tough balancing act the Cowboys have to strike, and how they sort out their options figures to be one of the biggest stories of the offseason.

I can't say which is the best for Dallas. At first glace, it would seem to be a post June 1 cut, but I sure like the fact of getting Romo off the books for the 2018 season and Martin getting his big pay increase.

Where will Tony Romo play in 2017? Latest odds on six possible landing spots
Romo will likely be on a team other than the Dallas Cowboys next season



Ever since it became clear that Dak Prescott was the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback not just of the future, but the present, it has been considered only a matter of time before Tony Romo moves on and finds a new team. Whether via a trade or release, it’s widely expected that Romo will open next season on a team other than the Cowboys.

Recent reports had indicated that the Cowboys would find a rather robust trade market for Romo, but ESPN.com reported Thursday morning that the 10-year starter expects to be released this offseason.

That expectation changes the calculus in regards to where he winds up in 2017, opening the door for more teams to pursue his services. SportsLine’s Larry Hartstein spoke to legendary Las Vegas oddsmaker Kenny White and got some information on how landing Romo would affect the 2017 over/under lines for several different teams that oddsmakers have identified as favorites for Romo’s services.

tony-romo.jpg

Where will Romo land in 2017? Will he remain a Cowboy? USATSI
Below, we’ll explore six favored destinations, focusing on everything from odds (via Bookmaker.eu) to cap space to fit.

Denver Broncos (+300)
The Broncos are currently Bookmaker.eu’s favorite to have Romo on their roster for the 2017 season. Newly arrived coach Vance Joseph has stated that he’ll hold an open training camp competition between incumbent starter Trevor Siemian and 2016 first-round pick Paxton Lynch and free-agent linebacker (and former Cowboys great) DeMarcus Ware has stated that while a reunion with Romo would be nice he believes the Broncos should stick with those two players.

The Broncos, though, are nevertheless believed to be interested in Romo should he become available as a free agent. GM John Elway has pursued a late-career veteran whose team had moved on and who was looking for a shot at a ring alongside an elite defense before. It worked out pretty well with Peyton Manning.

Denver already spent draft capital to move up and grab Lynch last season and thus seems more likely to be a fit for Romo if the Cowboys release him. The Broncos currently have $33 million in cap space, per Spotrac, plenty of room to hit him on the books and re-sign some of their important free agents. He’d be a terrific fit on the field, firing bullets to Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

If he does indeed wind up in Denver, White said that he’d bump the Broncos’ current over/under from nine wins to either 10.5 or 11. For what it’s worth, there wasn’t a single team in 2016 that had its over/under set higher than 10.5 wins. The Patriots, Packers, Steelers, Seahawks and Panthers all led the way with over/unders of 10.5 last season.

Dallas Cowboys (+350)
There is, of course, a chance Romo stays put. His current contract carries a $24.7 million cap hit for the 2017 season. Releasing him only saves the Cowboys $5.1 million against the cap if they do it straight up. That’s not exactly enough room to add a player of potentially similar impact. Designating him as a post-June 1 release would lower his 2017 hit to $12.7 million (and leave $8.9 million for 2018) and give them some more wiggle room to get that caliber of player, but it would also extend out his dead money hit over two years.

The thing about the Cowboys keeping him, though, is that Romo wants to play, and he won’t be doing that in Dallas. The Cowboys are committed to Prescott, as they should be. You have to take advantage of a fourth-rounder that becomes a star QB while he’s still on a bargain contract. That’s exactly why so many expect Romo to be moving on.

Dallas will surely pursue all possible avenues for a trade before electing to release Romo. A player of his talent should be able to garner at least moderate draft compensation and potentially more, especially given the cool quarterback market this offseason, but his age, injury history, and the fact that everyone knows he’s available (and that the Cowboys want to do right by him and give him a shot to start and win) could limit the market.

Chicago Bears (+400)
The Bears are widely expected to move on from their own veteran quarterback this offseason, as they can create $14 million in cap space by cutting ties with Jay Cutler. Doing so would give them over $70 million in cap space, per Spotrac -- plenty of room to sign Romo. However, it is reportedly his desire to play for a team that is in a position to contend for a Super Bowl. The Bears are nowhere near that level. Per White, their 2017 over/under would be 4 with Cutler, 4.5 with current Patriots backup Jimmy Garoppolo, and 5 or 5.5 with Romo. Given how far away they are from true contention, it doesn’t make sense for them to surrender a draft pick in a trade for Romo, either.

San Francisco 49ers (+600)
The 49ers, like the Bears, are expected to move on from their incumbent quarterback -- in this case, Colin Kaepernick. The 49ers, like the Bears, have plenty of available cap space with which to sign Romo this offseason. Spotracpegs them as nearly $82 million under the 2017 cap line as of this writing. And the 49ers, like the Bears, are nowhere near the kind of Super Bowl-contending team that Romo would reportedly like to sign with. (And thus, as is the case with the Bears, it does not make sense for the 49ers to surrender a draft pick for Romo.)

White said he’d post the 49ers’ win total at 4.5 with Kaepernick, compared to 6 with Romo. Kyle Shanahan’s offense would be a great fit for a player of Romo’s skill set, but there is just not enough talent there on either side of the ball for Romo to justify making the Bay Area his next home.

Houston Texans (+800)
From a football standpoint, the Texans make a ton of sense for Romo. They have a terrific defense that would take the pressure of having to carry the entire team off of his shoulders. They have a high-level playmaker at wide receiver in DeAndre Hopkins, a field-stretching burner in Will Fuller, a tight end over the middle in C.J. Fiedorowicz, and a stud running back in Lamar Miller. Their offensive line even held up pretty well during the 2016 season. Bill O’Brien’s offensive schemes, which mix zone runs with play-action and call for a high-efficiency passer, are a terrific fit as well.

The issue is that the Texans are already on the hook for a $19 million cap hit to Brock Osweiler for the 2017 season. Cutting him would actually add $6 million to their cap and create a $25 million dead money charge, so he’s not going anywhere. Trading for Romo and carrying his entire base salary seems out of the question, given the astronomical amount of money the Texans would then be paying their two QBs. Even signing him would leave them paying a massive chunk to those two players.

The Texans are on the hook for a $19 million cap hit to Osweiler in 2017. USATSI
White said he’d set Houston’s over/under at 8.5 with Osweiler under center and bump it to 10 if the Texans got Romo. That’s a hefty bump that would make the Texans the clear favorite in the AFC South and one of the overall favorites in the AFC. It’s just a matter of whether the Texans can pull it off financially, and whether Jerry Jones would be OK losing Romo to a team in the same state.

The field (+250)
There are 27 other teams in the league, and Bookmaker.eu actually considers it more likely that Romo’s eventual destination will be one of those 27 than one of the above-mentioned five.

The one that’s come up the most is the Kansas City Chiefs, who like the Broncos and Texans have an excellent defense but could use an upgrade at quarterback to take them to the next level. Andy Reid has done great work with Alex Smith and other below-average quarterback options in the past, and Romo would likely be the most talented QB he’s ever worked with during his head coaching career. Kansas City has a good line and a bunch of playmakers, so the fit makes sense. They could save $9.4 million against the cap by cutting Smith, or they could attempt to get draft compensation from another team by putting him on the market. There’d be a lot of moving parts involved in getting Romo to KC, but the payoff could be huge.

sorting-sunday-pile-nfl-divisional-round-schedule-matchups-playoffs.jpg

How much better would the Chiefs be if Andy Reid had Romo to work with? USATSI
Other teams like the Jets (always interested in famous quarterbacks), Bills(possibly moving on from Tyrod Taylor), Browns (haven’t had a good quarterback since re-entering the league), and the Redskins (if Kirk Cousinsleaves) figure to have varying degrees of interest in Romo as well, but aren’t considered likely to be his next employer.

I don't understand how Houston is +800. It seems like the best fit to me. One team in the division on the rise- Titans. Colts and Jags - nobody knows what to expect. Denvers division is loaded. Not to mention they have the best supporting cast of any team mentioned besides the Cowboys.

So I take it you are ready to move on.
