10 early burning questions for the 2017 NFL season

49ers

4. Where will Tony Romo land?

Speaking of quarterback storylines, the Dallas Cowboys no longer need Romo on their roster. Following the end of the Cowboys’ postseason, owner Jerry Jones indicated trading Romo would be the team’s “No. 1 priority.”

Romo was ousted out of his starting job by Prescott. He graciously acknowledged this, but at the same time he expressed his desire to play. Romo turns 37 in April and clearly has a recent past of unfortunate injuries.

As long as he can stay healthy, he would be an incredible upgrade to several teams needing better quarterbacks. Romo recently said the Denver Broncos would be his first choice. But, the Broncos for now appear to be sold on working with their roster of younger quarterbacks.

Romo also makes for a potential option in San Francisco working with Shanahan.

However things work out, something might have to give if he wants to keep playing. Romo’s current $24.7 million salary cap hit is not one that other teams can easily absorb. However, Romo hinted that he would consider a lesser salary in order to play for a team of his choosing.

Romo’s fans will surely be tracking him in the coming weeks. Will he be wearing a certain New York-based green, or possibly a Floridian cat mascot on his helmet come September? Or, will Romo do what many consider is best for his long term health and hang up his cleats?
