I just don't think you can take the cap strategy out of the equation. I get you have to roll the dice. I just roll them with Romo for the next year at the least, preferably 2 years. You DON'T restructure him and let him go after 2016. You attempt to draft his replacement next year with a mid rounder and continue to add to the OL & DL. If you hit on the mid round QB great. If not, then the 2017 draft you have to use a high pick for his replacement. And he doesn't have play behind the line that Troy did and get his brains beat in his first year. You also either have 3 years left on your new QB's contract (if acquired in 2016) or you have him for 4 (with a 5th year option).
Maybe so but it's academic now since we both know that Jones has opted to ride Romo as far as he can. Next year will just have to be a new adventure.
