The Dallas Cowboys. Yes, the same Dallas Cowboys who already have Tony Romo in the prime of his career on their roster.

Newton was asked about going to the Cowboys by reporters from WFAA TV in Dallas. His reply: "Jerry Jones, man he knows how to get hold of me, let's just say that," Newton says. Does that mean Jones has already talked to Newton?

Newton will have a chance to impress Jones and the rest of the NFL at the Combine next week. "Just as a whole, my opportunity right now, I?m just going to continue to work hard on trying to become the best player I can be," he told WFAA. "Whatever team gets me, it's going to be an honor in itself to be picked up and it's just going to be a dream come true."

Tim Cowlishah of the Dallas Morning News (and ESPN's Around the Horn) has seen enough. He says Newton would make a great replacement for Romo.

I'm not sure if they want him bad enough to trade up to get him, or how high they are willing to trade up. This definitely makes this interesting. I wonder how many other teams are interested as well.

This all stems from Cam Newton saying "Jerry Jones knows how to get hold of me." Blech.

I'd love if they fell for him and offered us some nice trades, but really? I just don't see it.

Its not of the realm of possibility. Romo is 31, and is coming off of a bad injury, and everyone knows about his playoff issues, or lack thereof.

True enough, and it'd probably be one of the best situations for Cam to be honest. Not just Romo, but another backup veteran too... He'd be allowed to come along slowly and could really become the icon he wants to be.

Now, we just need to find a way to sell the Cowboys on him...

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
