From my understanding, Romo and the Jones family have a really close relationship and it would not surprise me if Romo has been promised a role in the organization upon retirement regardless if he continues playing for a couple years or decides to retire now. As it is today, he's currently under contract and stands to make a ridiculous amount of money for being a backup and is guaranteed a healthy sum even if he's cut June 1, he likely has a future management role with the Cowboys, he has other options outside of football which will likely pay well if he decides to go that route, so why should he get upset with Jones for delaying his release? I personally think Romo is playing along with Jones and would love for Dallas to get something in return in a trade. Yes, please Texans, just hold off and don't do anything stupid. If Romo doesn't come here, big freaking deal.

I'm not going to say Savage is the answer, but I sure would like to find out what we really have in him. Younger Romo is obviously an upgrade to what we've trotted out there the last 5 years, but there's no guaranteed to what you're going to get with him now. If Romo is free and reasonable cost-wise, sign him. If he's costs picks or plays hardball, screw him.

Would love for this article to go into more detail, but I did find it interesting even as limited as it is. I'm okay drafting a rookie (or two) and giving Savage his shot:

I really want nothing to do with Cutler or Keapernick. I'd rather the franchise toss all their eggs into a rookie or Savage than to go the Cutler/Keap route.

Jerry Jones on Romo resolution: 'Before training camp'

The Tony Romo saga could play out for the entire offseason.

Speaking Tuesday at the Annual League Meeting in Phoenix, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated his only timetable for a resolution on Romo's future is "before training camp," according to USA Today's Tom Pelissero.

Jones stressed to local reporters there is no "imminent" deadline that would push a decision.

What do you think about Colin Kappernick? Might be some upside and available. Can still draft a QB as well.

Between Romo, Cutler and Kaepernick, only one of them has ever led a team to a Super Bowl. I just can't imagine McNair and Kaep seeing eye-to-eye the first time there's a political controversy. First time some wiseguy reporter sticks a mic in Kaep's face and baits him about transgendered bathroom bills or something, Kaep won't be able to say "no comment" and walk away.

Otherwise, I think $9 mil is a very reasonable price and better than what we'd get out of Romo.

From inside the Texans org...

From my understanding, Romo has some concern about his own back and he was done dealing with Jerry and the Cowboys.

Also from what I was told is his wife was really concerned about Romo's health and caring for their family.

Good. The organization can finally move on. Romo hasn't played in 2 years and was not the answer.
