We need both guard positions though. That's a tall order in one offseason

That's my issue with releasing Albert. Imagine this means we're bring whatsisname the other guard back.

On reflection, I suppose I agree with all the cuts. It'd be easy for the team to delude themselves into thinking that they're almost there, when I reality there's a lot of work needs doing.

Still hope we resign stills, but can't see it happening

Blackout rules are dumb as hell agreed I circumvent that by using the MLB app on my phone and just listen to the radio feeds. Baseballs unhurried pace makes this not so bad an option and my teams radio crew is good so I may be biased

Um...ok? Whooole lotta dead money but they do open up some cap space if that happens. Also means Dallas isn't getting what they want in trade offers.

Grittybeard posted:

Also Tony gets a say in where he goes if he's cut, and it would have to be an absolutely insane overpay to even get him to think about Cleveland.

It's like a combination of two things: The first is that they can't make him a post-June 1 cut if they trade him, the second is yeah, to your point, the trade value probably isn't there. Though this isn't just because he's an injury risk--most of the teams that are desperate for QB help are also sitting high enough in the draft (Cleveland, Chicago, Jets, Jacksonville, 49ers, Bills) that they feel like they can just draft one of the top 3 QB prospects this year if they don't get Romo, which makes them less likely to overpay.

In order to avoid a massive cap hit for Romo, Dallas would have to sit on him until June, and it's *very* unlikely teams would wait for that. If they cut him, they can put the post June-1 designation on him to shave down the impact, then extend Witten and convert salary to bonuses for Smith, Frederick, and Crawford, and clear up about $29M in cap space to offset the $10m in dead money from cutting Romo (plus the $9M they save from cutting him as well), which would give them space to sign their rookies, re-sign Church, and go after some non-superstar defensive help in free agency.

suuure, remember everyone being amazed that Tom Brady, noted health nut who forgoes (most) human pleasures to be a QB machine, played at a high level being 39 years old?

Now Mr. Romo Glass wants to do the same?

I have my doubts.

It can't not be Cleveland, right?

Cleveland isn't a team that just needs a QB to put them over the top. They're a team that needs a young QB they can have for years and build around. You get Romo if you think you've got a team that can win if only you get a decent QB, like the Texans.

Well, Tom Brady played a lot more football in the last two years than Romo did.

Houston, but they have no cap room. I could see a kind of argument for the Jets, they've got a bunch of aging but still good pieces on offense and in theory should have a decent defense (although obviously that wasn't the case last year). A lot of KC fans want that to happen but there's just no way, Andy loves Alex too much and Romo isn't enough of a sure thing to make him think twice.

I loved Albert for two years, but he has been hurt a bunch the last two years and it really started catching up to him :-/

I'm curious to see how much he gets paid and how well he plays.

Maybe we don't release him without Tunsil on the roster. Not sure.

9 decent games a year would better than 16 games of human turnstile/false start machine Greg Robinson

Miami has a 0% chance of signing anyone at QB other than camp bodies or cheap backups.

I was thinking of teams with cap space which Houston lacks and the Chiefs don't seem to care about replacing Alex as is. I only threw Miami out there because there seem to be rumblings that the org has had it with Tanny. If Teddy really is dead would they really stick out another year of Bradford?

I tend to agree but I doubt they're thinking like that. I mean they should probably realize they need to move on from Revis as a starter at the least, but I bet they believe they have a good enough roster if they could just get good quarterback play and fix a few things.
