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.

Welp. Romo is headed to TV.

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.

We probably dodged a bullet. So, do we sign Cutler, Kaepernick or go all-in on the draft?

Apparently the kicker for Romo was when CBS agreed to let him be part of their golf coverage in year two. Reminds me of when NBC lured Don Meredith away from ABC on the promise he could star in acting roles. It must not have went well because he didn't do a lot of NFL with NBC and he didn't do that much acting either.After a couple of years, he was back on MNF but he was bitter after that and far from the fun-loving cowboy ABC once promoted.

I'd sign one of those guys if there is less than $1 million a year guaranteed. Give Kaepernick 2 years and $20-25 million with $1-2 million guaranteed. Or better yet, no signing bonus and huge roster bonuses. Then he has to earn it all. Then draft a QB early and another one late. Then toss in Savage and let them all compete for the starting job. If Kaep doesn't win the job in the preseason cut him like Denver did Sanchez last year before he ever played a game. Let all of the other QBs compete for the starting job and the backup jobs. Whoever plays best is your starter. 2nd best is your backup. If the 3rd best shows any promise he's your 3rd stringer, and if not go with a practice squad guy.

I would do all of the above but substitute Cutler for Kaep.

Although I would pay good money to watch the necks in the paper's comments section have a chicken fried meltdown if the team signed Kaep. That'd be outstandiner'n hell.
