Tony Romo

Broncos will consider Tony Romo if Cowboys release him

The Denver Broncos are expected to "at least discuss" pursuing Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo if he's released, according to Mike Klis of 9News Denver.

What It Means:

The Broncos are one of Romo's preferred destinations and he would be a perfect bridge for Paxton Lynch, who showed during his rookie season that he still has some work to do before being ready to take over as the team's quarterback of the future. It makes sense on paper for both sides, so perhaps the Cowboys will try and see if they can get some sort of compensation from Denver, rather than releasing him.

Romo tossed -0.04 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back on 127 drop backs in 2015, but generated 0.16 Passing NEP per drop back on 684 such plays in 2014, so it's tough to gauge expectations for what will be his age-37 season.
