If you want to spend money on a vet, how about Matt Kalil to beef up the O-line. He'll be a F/A and SpotTrac projects his mkt value at around 5+ mil/yr. He could play LT and move D.Brown to RT or keep D.B. where he is for another year or so and put Kalil at RT. And compared to taking on Romo's salary, that leaves some change to pick up another F/A lineman (or CB).
Put me in the build the OL & defense camp .... since we are stuck with Os for at least next season.
There is the remote possibility that they cut him this year and take the entire $25m cap hit .... but who replaces him ?? The FA crop is hot garbage aside from Cousins who will most likely be back in DC - Fitzy is the #2 ranked FA QB in this years group and next years is not much better.
May as well build the OL & defense .... and beat teams pounding the ball down the opponents throats and playing suffocating defense .... and hope like hell your QB doesn't give games away.
