Romo Trade to Denver Financially Unlikely

Salute: KUSA-TV

But also for financial and cap purposes, the Broncos likely would only express interest in Romo if he is released. That way, the Broncos would be in better position to negotiate a reduced contract with Romo.

Romo is scheduled to make $14M in salary and $10.7M in bonuses for 2017.  There is no way on earth Denver will take on that kind of salary who will shortly be 37-years-old.  Denver has an estimated $36M of cap space available next year.  It makes no sense to spend two-thirds of that on an aging and frequently injured QB.
