The Houston Texans made a bold move at the beginning of the free agency. They trade away QB Brock Osweiler to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a future draft pick. Many believed that the move is part of the plan of Texans to free up a spot for Tony Romo.
The Houston Texans had a great run last season as they were able to enter the playoffs by clinching the fourth seed in the AFC division. They were able to beat the Oakland Raiders in the wildcard but was ousted by the eventual champion New England Patriots in divisional playoffs. Now, they are moving to boost their roster by going after the talented quarterback Tony Romo.
Tony Romo has been the hot topic of rumor mills that is swirling around the league a couple of months already. Rumors are spreading the Dallas Cowboys will release him following the emergence of rookie Dak Prescott as the primary quarterback of the team. With that perception, the Houston Texans seem made a way to open a spot for him.
According to CBSSports, the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns agree on a trade deal that will send QB Brock Osweiler to the Browns in exchange for a 2017 fourth-round pick. The Texans will also send their a 2018 second-round pick and 2017 sixth-round pick as part of the deal with the Browns.
The move seems to signify the determination of the Houston Texans to acquire the services of Tony Romo, who said to be leaving the Dallas Cowboys in the coming days. By unloading Osweiler, the Texans was able to save around $10 million in cap space that could well be enough to get the services of the four-time Pro Bowler. The move also brings some sort of benefit to the Texans as per the latest report.
According to FOXSports, the Houston Texans magnificently evade of what could be the biggest free-agent mistakes they've made last year. The blunder is pertaining to the signing of Brock Osweiler to a four-year, $72 million contract which many believe is too much for the 26-year quarterback.
By trading Brock Osweiler, the Houston Texans was able to dump the big paycheck on their payroll and give them a chance to chase Tony Romo. And now, the Texans must create a perfect master plan to convince the Dallas Cowboys to give up their prized quarterback to them.
Will the Houston Texans be able to pull off a trade deal to get the services of Tony Romo?
