Tony Romo's Next Destination?
Posted by Chris Schweizer
Around the League in Two Minutes
The contract extension talks between the Dallas Cowboys and their young quarterback Tony Romo seem to be over, at least for the time being. In all likelihood, as the Dallas Morning News points out, Romo will probably receive a large contract at some point during the 2007 season.
Depending on how the first month of the season goes for Romo, however, the leverage of either side could swing widely. The downside for the Cowboys is if Romo has a great start to the '07 campaign he could start to think about opting for free agency in the spring. The price tag to lock him up would certainly rise significantly.
On the flip side of that coin, a bad start and the Cowboys might start looking at investing the pick they received from the Browns in Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm during the '08 draft.
If the Boys and Romo part ways there are several teams who could probably use his services next season. If the dark cloud doesn't leave Jacksonville soon enough, the Jaguars may decide to part ways with both Byron Leftwich and David Garrard, the results of a new coaching staff (with their own plans and players) if Jack Del Rio doesn't survive the hot seat.
A few other places with quarterback experiments that may flounder: Minnesota, Kansas City, Atlanta, and the most interesting of all, the Washington Redskins.
