Trade Analysis: In order for this trade to work, the Houston Texans would likely have to find some way out of quarterback Brock Osweiler‘s massive four-year, $72 million contract he signed last March. Assuming they can, the Texans likely feel they are one franchise quarterback away from a deep playoff run. Romo seems to fit that bill perfectly.

Last offseason, the Cowboys coaching staff had a chance to work with Ohio State’s Braxton Miller during the Senior Bowl. Arguably the most overall talented player there, Miller was still raw as he was still attempting to make the transition from quarterback to wide receiver. But he’s athleticism and upside were off the charts.

This season in Houston, Miller’s rookie year was cut short due to hamstring issues and a shoulder injury. Described as a multifaceted offensive weapon, the former Buckeye could be the Cowboys answer to a legitimate deep threat that could take the top off of defenses.

Although Miller is a developmental player, his upside combined with the Cowboys knowledge of the player makes him a possible trade target.
