Conclusion

Tony Romo will probably command a trade in the middle of the trades discussed previously.  He doesn’t have postseason success, but he has proven he is capable of playing at a high level.  He became particularly more intriguing after a strong, albeit limited, performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.

At the end of the day, I believe Romo will be traded to Denver, for something along the lines of the Sam Bradford deal.  The Broncos have a fairly complete roster, including two young quarterbacks.  They would view Tony as a guy that could immediately start for them, and give them a chance to win another championship.

In addition, I’m sure Denver’s GM John Elway views Tony as a player that can mentor his two young quarterbacks, Trevor Siemmian and Paxton Lynch.  If that’s the case, then the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos may be in business.

Predicted Trade

The Broncos don’t know what they are getting initially, so Dallas only gets their 2nd round selection in 2017.  They also get a conditional 3rd round pick from Denver in 2018, which can escalate to a second round selection in Romo starts more than 12 games in 2017, and a first round selection if he leads to at least the AFC Championship game.
