Where do you guys think Romo will go? The Houston Texans would be awesome choice ... he would have to settle for a lot less money compared to other potential teams because of that mess they have at QB right now.

The Denver Broncos are a QB away from another Superbowl with a defense that's ready to win like right now... but they have no interest in Romo according to Elway.

Romo will turn 37 this April, he has had 3 back injuries and broken his left collar bone twice, I`m not too sure how many teams are willing to take a chance on him with that kind of history but I suppose if you`re desperate for a quarterback and can keep him upright in the pocket then he "MIGHT" be worth the gamble, I wouldn`t take that chance but then again I`m not a team GM. He`s just one blind side hit away from another season on the DL!

I read that too, but they put a halt on it. I think they have some teams interested in a trade. Which is odd for me. Why would any team want to trade from him, if they know Miami is going to cut him anyway. I hear the Jags are stupid enough.

Would like to see Romo go somewhere else, but wouldn't be shocked if he restructures and stays in Dallas

He's been injured the past 2 seasons with some extremely unfortunate hits but he's far from useless.

He's still better than most QB's out there anyways.

I'd love to see him in a Cowboy uniform again, but he made it clear he wants to start. I hope he ends up in Denver or Houston.

Minnesota was dumb enough to give up a first round pick for dud Sam Bradford, but as much as I like Romo, he needs to retire for his own good. Or get $10M a year to sit on the bench in Dallas over the $27.4M he's getting now.

He has played in 5 of the last 32 games. Buyer beware!!

Dan Orvlosky said in an interview that the Lions will let his contract lapse, it will not be renewed. IMO this is great news, of seen more than enough of Dan, he went 0-10 in the 0-16 year. This means Jake Rudock,sixth round draft pick from UM, will be Matt Staffords back up next year. Hmmmm, a sixth round draft pick from Michigan backing up a number one draft pick. That sounds vaguely familiar.
