Late but there's a whole lot of drunk mofos on the South Side that desperately need knocked out. Revis is a hero

The "terroristic threats" were "I got more guys coming" and "You want to be next?" according to the police report.

Revis needs safety help to beat up random 20 year olds.

Players and coaches just need to resist the lure of the South Side Bacchanalia. That's also where Joey Porter found himself in a jackpot in the back of a cop car during the playoffs

I think the main thing is Romo appears to have less realistic suitors then Peyton did which will suppress his number a bit. Really only the Broncos and Texans really seem to be in a position to go for him. The other good rosters that could upgrade at QB are locked into their guys, and the other QB needy teams tend to be messes up and down the roster.

I wouldn't be surprised if Romo's deal is closer to what you said, but I could see both the Broncos and Texans hardballing that and I can't see him going to like the Bills, Bears, Jets or Jaguars to get it.

Tough to say. Those teams still have to compete against those other teams a little bit, and they both still have to compete with each other. There are enough teams for Romo to end up on (even if he doesn't want to go to those teams as much) that their ability to suppress will only be so high, particularly with a QB draft class that isn't stellar--Manning was a free agent in 2012, which had the strongest QB draft class since 2004, which would have suppressed his value a little bit, given that two of the heaviest suitors--WAS and MIA--both ended up drafting QBs in the top 10.

It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out. I think it's less that only Denver and Houston are in position to go for him and more that those are the only teams out there he really wants to end up on, now that Palmer is returning to the Cardinals.

Although if Roethlisberger shocks everyone and retires, watch out

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, MAD-2R World
I don't know that Romo especially cares about getting a megabux paycheck. Everybody likes money and all, but the Cowboys have already payed him immense sums of money, and as far as I know he boringly saved 99% of it instead of blowing it on cocaine/gambling/whatever.

The only remotely sane motivation he has to keep playing is to win a Super Bowl. I imagine he'll make any concession within reason to go to a team that he could plausibly make a contender.

The alternative is he's just too brain damaged to know when to quit, in which case whelp. :shrug:

Sure, I don't think he cares about the quantity that much. But guaranteed money and signing bonus do more than just line his mansion; they help ensure that he'll get to chance to play at least one more season, which he probably does care about.

In terms of concessions, those only go so far--his agent is the one doing the negotiation and Tom Condon isn't a "massive paycut for my client" kind of guy (he reps both Manning bros, Brees, Stafford, and Ryan).

That's probably a good case for why he's going to the Texans: they have to backload his contract because of lolbrock, he wants them to backload his contract (with guaranteed money) so they're stuck with him at least 2-3 years, so it's a pretty perfect fit.

The skins have more than $60m in cap space so they could potentially just eat the $24m franchise tag and then see if he blinks and signs a long term deal

This actually seems like a historically good year to find a starting QB on the FA market.

Like it's a low bar to clear, but Cousins, Taylor, Cutler, and Romo is much better than fighting over Osweiler and Cassel or whatever.

At that point you're paying 144% of the average of the top five at the position, which is...a lot. You're making the guy, by far, the best paid at his position in the league after paying him top-notch money for two previous years. It just can't make sense in anything but the craziest of circumstances.
