Denver Broncos free agency analysis and remaining options
I want to get the Tony Romo discussion out of the way for now, because it’s looking more and more like the Denver Broncos aren’t going to be getting him.
on Wednesday night, I was wondering how Romo likes his steak, thinking he’d be released on Thursday (like everyone reported) and potentially taking a visit to Denver to talk about being the next Super Bowl champion quarterback of the Denver Broncos.
The Dallas Cowboys pulled the rug out from underneath everyone, and it was reported that they were seeking a trade partner for Romo, not releasing him. Reports then emerged that the Broncos have had no internal discussions about bringing in Romo, and that they are pleased with Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch if that’s what they’re left with when the dust settles.
In other words, we’ve been led to believe every possible truth in the case of Tony Romo and his realistic suitors.
We shouldn’t be surprised, but Jerry Jones is a snake. He’s playing a game of chicken with the final years of Romo’s NFL career, his last chance to win a title.
By the way, Jerruh’s Cowboys haven’t won a title since 1996. I just think that’s necessary to mention, at this point.
The big debate as of Thursday is which team will ultimately be the best fit for Romo. The Houston Texans dumped Brock Osweiler on the Cleveland Browns, and actually paid a second round pick to have them take him off their hands.
Right around a year after handing Osweiler the keys to the franchise and $72 million, they have completely gotten rid of him.
Stunning.

The Texans no longer seem to have the issue of cap space standing in their way for Romo, and their alternatives at quarterback are uninspiring at this point. The question of what team makes better sense shouldn’t even be a question if you’re asking me, but it is.
On paper, the Houston Texans have a lot to offer. They play in the state of Texas. They have a great defense. They play in a division that is definitely up for grabs. They also play indoors.
It seems like the situation in Houston is too good to be true! Except when you consider facts about the situation about how insanely idiotic the Texans have been operating the last two years, starting with giving Brock Osweiler one of the biggest free agent deals of 2016.
In a year’s time, the Texans handed the franchise over to Osweiler, forced Bill O’Brien to keep him on the field, were rumored to be close to firing O’Brien, even after winning a playoff game, and then giving the Browns a 2nd round pick to take Osweiler off their hands.
If I were Tony Romo, I would see the way Houston has been operating, and the decision would take me less than a second.
There’s no doubt in my mind Denver has a better situation, despite uncertainty on the offensive line.
The Broncos may or may not end up with Tony Romo. At this point, while I would like to have Romo in Denver, I don’t really have much interest in the drama coming from the Cowboys’ part in this.
