It's simple trade him and restructure some other deals. People panic with the restructure but its the same thing as doing a June 1st cut. June first passes some of his money into future caps. That's exactly what restructuring does. So instead you restructure other guys and take the full hit on Romo right away. The end result is massive cap savings without jeapordizing your future cap anymore then a June 1st designation.Originally Posted by jsmith6919
If it was up to me, I'd keep Romo.
Also where is our Packers thread, it is Monday. @Iamtdg step it up

IF he wouldn't cost us 25 mil against the cap next year I'd agree. And if we didn't have a young probowl QB starting for us with a cap charge under 1 mil.
Done.
I look at it this way, combine their cap hits and Dallas has two starting Qb's next year for around what it costs other teams to have one QB. 25,335,848
Less than a Million over what the Ravens are paying for Flacco.
Little over a million over what the Cardinals are paying for Palmer.
1.5 million over what the Falcons are paying for Ryan
3-6 million over what the Giants, Dolphins, Lions, Packers, Chargers and Panthers are paying for their QB's
Why carry 2 QB at that cap number and not reap the rewards of being able to use that money to upgrade the team in other areas.
Why would you allocate that much money to a backup position?
And there is no way Romo is playing the good soldier all next year as a backup, why add that distraction to the locker room?
If Romo stays as a backup I think that means he's admitted to himself that he's too fragile to start anymore and in that case I say retirement is more likely than hanging around as a clipboard holder.
If he's healthy enough in his mind I can't see anyway he doesn't want to go somewhere else and start.
