Dak Prescott says the Dallas Cowboys are Tony Romo's team, and Jerry Jones reaffirmed this week that Romo will be the starting QB when he's healthy.

End of story, right?

Not necessarily. Prescott is making his case stronger each week, and Skip Bayless says if the rookie keeps winning and beats the Eagles in Week 8, right before the trade deadline, teams could call the Cowboys about Romo.

"What if somebody called and just said, 'Jerry, do you want to get that deal off your books?'" Bayless said on "Undisputed" this week. "'Cause it's $108 million over six years; the cap hits the next three years are in the $24 million range. They're in shackles now with Tony Romo."

Shannon Sharpe agreed: "To get $18 million off your books that you can put toward your defense ... I would do it in a New York minute."

So who could they trade him to and what would they get?

Guest Michael Lombardi says the Miami Dolphins are going to have to give up on Ryan Tannehill, and the San Francisco 49ers need a QB, too. SI's Peter King thinks the Bears will be moving on from Jay Cutler in Chicago.

What's Romo worth at age 36 and coming off an injury? "If you wanted to trade him, it would have to be a conditional pick, a firm [second-rounder] that moved [up] based on how much he played and how well he played, and I think you could find some trade partners," Lombardi said.
