Romo’s time with the Dallas Cowboys appears to be up. Dallas sits just $4.2 million above the cap, per OverTheCap.com, which is the fewest of any NFL team. Romo, who was demoted to the team’s backup quarterback behind rookie Dak Prescott last season, is set for a $24.7 million cap hit.
If the Cowboys can’t find a trade partner, cutting Romo would free up $19.6 million in cap room. A no-brainer.
There are a number of potential suitors around the NFL, including two teams in the NFC North. Green Bay and Detroit are set at quarterback, but the same can’t be said in Chicago and Minnesota.
