Tony Romo rumors: 5 teams that should trade for him

The Dallas Cowboys are likely going to trade Tony Romo this offseason, and there are a litany of teams who should be calling.

After losing his job due to both injury and Dak Prescott, Tony Romo is going to be on the proverbial block this offseason. While owner/general manager Jerry Jones won’t say it publicly, Dallas needs to move on from their star quarterback. At 36 years old and coming off a pair of seasons which saw him start a combined four games over those campaigns.

Despite the injuries, teams will come calling. Romo has played at an elite level for a decade, racking up 65 touchdown passes over the 2013-14 seasons. If he can stay upright, he turns a bad team into a decent one, and a contender into a favorite.

5. San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers are one of the worst teams in football, but they have more than $75 million in cap space. They also have an offensive-minded head coach coming in with Kyle Shanahan likely filling the void left by Chip Kelly.

It would make sense for San Francisco, which is trying to appease a furious fan base. Also, with the draft class looking weak in terms of quarterbacks, the 49ers could draft a signal-caller and then allow him to mature for a year or two behind Romo.
