NFL Free Agency Primer: Where will Tony Romo land?

There is intrigue surrounding many players, although the quarterbacks, as usual, take center stage.Will Houston or Denver swing a trade for Dallas quarterback Tony Romo? Or will they wait until he becomes a free agent?”It is implied that we will work in the best way we can for the mutual interest of Tony and the Cowboys,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told Dallas reporters in Indianapolis this past weekend. “That was just implied. That’s important here. Now we’ve got to abide by every league rule. We can’t have agreements without it being within the boundaries of the NFL.”But when you’ve got a situation like we got, we’ll do the do-right rule. That’s it. Very important. We do the do-right rule. We have that kind of relationship.”Most believe that includes Romo agreeing not to sign with the division-rival Redskins if Kirk Cousins is traded to San Francisco.Jones added, “What I’m really saying is that I do not know how, what we will end up with — whether it will be a trade, whether it will be a release, whether it will be neither. I do not know at this time. All scenarios have been well-considered and thought out. Now we’ve just got to see where the reality is.”He’s considering options. Obviously, we all know that he’s going to have the opportunity to look at whatever situation, if there are situations. He’s going to have an opportunity to look at it. He gets to say and control this situation every bit as much as we do.”One quarterback that could move quickly is Tampa Bay free agent Mike Glennon. The Buccaneers have reportedly offered Glennon in the range of $7-$8 million to stay, but that is Jameis Winston’s team and Glennon wants the opportunity to start. The Bears are where many believe he will end up, and Glennon signed with agent David Dunn just in time for the beginning of the 52-hour negotiating period.Free-agent whispersThe big story circulating Tuesday were reports that the Los Angeles Rams are trying to trade cornerback Trumaine Johnson.
