Also does Jimmy G have leverage??, any trade would likely involve an extension and he could refuse to sign the extension thus negating the trade, or an I barking up the wrong tree??
Jerry will release Romo. Technically he can't prevent Romo from signing with Houston but maybe they make a gentleman's agreement that Romo abides by. Denver would also be a great fit for his services.
No Cowboys fan is going to cheer for Houston.
Would it shock anyone if the anonymous scouts bashing the QB class were Patriots scouts?
I disagree, Denver is a tremendous fit. Lynch could use another year and they aren't going anywhere with Siemian. They are built to win today.
Then Jerry Jones won't release him. Romo could potentially take Cowboys fans with him if he moves across the street.
LOL. As one of the boards resident Texans... let me assure you Romo will NOT be taking any Cowboys fans with him to Houston.
It wouldn't be that hard to set up a deal that would ecpect JG to take over in 2019 season. I have posted about it before.It makes no sense. Are they cutting Brady in 2018? Are they tagging Jimmy for 22 million?
He will walk in 2018.
Belichek does not lose assets for nothing, see Jones and Collins.

That is a very realistic deal for JG and protects both him and NWE.Here is another thing to think about. Why would the Pats, if they really think JG is the next guy, not work an extension with him coinciding with Brady's contract expiration? Windy suggested a 2yr/$20M deal. Why would NE not just give him a 4yr/ $60 M extension with say $20M SB and salaries of $2M, $2M, $18M, $18M. That would control him for $5M, $6M, and$6M cap hits until Brady is 43 years old, then JG takes over in 2020/21 season paid as a starter.
$24M to get Brady's coffee for 3 more years and then take the wheel of a Ferrari vs a 1985 geo metro.
It's not out of the question for the Pats to hold onto him for another year, especially if they believe he's a franchise caliber QB. Idc about all the talk that Brady is playing 'til he's 45 or 50, the dude is going to fall off sooner rather than later. He'll be 40 next season, it could very well happen then.
Brady was looking like a former shell of himself in the first half of the SB, he was missing wide open throws left and right. Then had that pick 6 that felt like the final nail in the coffin. Of course, everyone forgets that because of their miraculous comeback. But can Brady go for another 16 game season? Plus playoffs? I wouldn't bet against him but it has to be on Belichick's mind.
Do the 2 franchises hate each other?
Do the 2 franchises hate each other?
I live in Houston, yes there is hate for each other. Not a lot of hate, but it's mainly the 2 cities, no one in Houston likes Dallas, no one in Dallas like Houston. Texans fans would love to have Romo
But it doesn't put him at risk. If he signs elsewhere to an Osweiler type deal he would get $30 -40M guaranteed, but he could be cut if he sucks or injured after 2 years, the contract I proposed earlier gives him $24 M in the first 2 years and then a big kick in pay in years 3-4.The Patriots could sign Jimmy G to a contract.
-But no player is taking a backloaded deal. It puts all the financial risk on them and the years that matter in a contract are the first 2.
-Jimmy could sign and sit for 2 years, but that again pushes back his starting time and his maximum earning potential and then what happens if Brady doesn't retire in 2019?
Jimmy wants to leave he is going to make close to 40 million in 2017-18 if he leaves and he is going to start in 2017, which allows him to cash back in potentially in 2-3 years. I get the Patriots are an ideal situation for a QB, but I am sure he is more concerned with the next 4 years than the 4 years after that.
