Tony Romo

Washington wondering if Cowboys' Tony Romo could be a possibility

Washington is wondering if they can sign Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo were he to be released by the team, according to Jason Cole of Bleacher Report.

What It Means:

Cole is speculating more than reporting here, but with long-term talks with Kirk Cousins breaking down and Colt McCoy as the second quarterback on the roster, Romo to Washington does make plenty of sense. However, as Cole points out, even if the Cowboys do release Romo, he may agree to not sign with a divisional rival out of respect to Jerry Jones and the Dallas organization.

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.
