Even if the Cowboys wanted to draft Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III, it'd be a tough proposition.
They'd need a lot of ammunition to bundle with the 14th pick of the first round to move up the board ... not to mention the matter of extricating themselves from the final two years of incumbent Tony Romo's six-year, $67 million pact.
And in fact, it sounds like Dallas is poised to get much more entangled with Romo.
"Tony is going to play a lot more than two more years," team VP Stephen Jones�said via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "We are going to take care of Tony. Tony is going to be a Cowboy."
Romo is a a three-time Pro Bowler but, more importantly to most Dallas fans, he's won just one playoff game in six years as the starter for "America's Team" and seems to match his amazing performances with spectacular meltdowns.
But Stephen Jones and his father, team owner Jerry Jones, continue to stick by their man; the team's website said the owner has definitively said he won't pursue Luck or RG3.
"There are not many better than him out there," Stephen Jones said. "I hear it -- he hasn't gotten it done yet. I hear it, all of that. But you are not going to find much better than Tony Romo. Every year he improves. As he gets better, our chances get better."
Agree? After all, we love to hear your opinions ... or just tally your ballots.
