If Pace plans on signing Romo, I doubt he drafts a QB at 3

 

[ShiftyDevil]

How many times has he broken his back again?

Pace would have to be a slobbering idiot to sign Romo as anything other than a bridge to a rookie.

He could bridge to a QB with a second round pick

Really, what does a rebuilding franchise need with an old and always injured QB?

Can't wait for next season when we have Romo, Brees, and Rivers all on the roster.

We have the cap space!!!

Romo.....?! nah.....

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Ya'll laugh.... but do you REALLY think Fox is gonna roll with a rookie QB with his job on the line? Not likely.

It's going to be Romo (or some other comparable vet) and Hoyer next year.

Not saying that's the right move.... but it's how Fox/Pace are going to play it IMO.

Who knows if he would come here, but his football career is nearing the end. I can't see him wanting to finish as a backup to Prescott.

As of Friday, there will be a 30% tariff on Mexican quarterback signings in the NFL. Romo better be worth it.

 

[didshereallysaythat]

Someone is going to sign Romo. If he stays healthy, he is a top 10 QB and he probably has a few years left.

 

[AussieBear]

if they get romo, aj is a mandatory signing/tag

 

[dweebs19]

lmao..This is rich. Don't get me wrong..Romo is better than Cutler when healthy, but we're gonna go from an oft injured qb to another injured qb? go from an expensive qb to another expensive qb?

........then maybe he could see his career end..... crumbled up on the ground with Bear trainers around him. cuz he didn't get a pass off quick enuiff behind our OL.

I thought about this the other day and can totally see it happening. Pace and Romo with that Eastern Illinois connection, might have been teammates for 1 year, iirc? Maybe you get a couple Brett Favre in Minnesota years out of him. But we still need to draft a QB.

Ok, for a second, let's play with this.

Romo was the ultimate team player this year. Said the right things and did the right things. What if they signed Romo AND drafted a QB at three? Couldn't they tell Romo that hes being paid to coach and mentor a draft pick? Is that really so bad? Couldn't our FO office promise to let him start the season while the rookie continues to develop? And if hes playing well and the team is winning couldn't they let him keep starting?

I know we have a ton of cap and the newish rookie wage scale will help us greatly. Romo plus a QB at #3 seems like a decent idea. Decent.

Prefer this than acting like Watson worthy of a top 5 pick

 

[Tjodalv]

Why would having a walking corpse prevent a team from drafting a QB with their top pick?

 

[Starion]

lmao..This is rich. Don't get me wrong..Romo is better than Cutler when healthy, but we're gonna go from an oft injured qb to another injured qb? go from an expensive qb to another expensive qb?

Can't say I disagree. If he missed so much as 1/2 a game due to injury, CHI media & fans would eat Romo alive given his history.


That said, if structured right a 2-3 year tops front-loaded incentive laided contract could net him as a great bridge QB while they develop a draft QB or two.
