Which Player deserves their "independence" from their team? Romo?!

GR: Calvin Johnson was the first name to come for me as well. It's not just Matthew Stafford I don't fully trust. It's Lions ownership. Which leads me to Tony Romo. The Cowboys haven't been an awful franchise since Romo arrived, but that's because he's been a top-10 quarterback. The team's front office -- led by owner Jerry Jones -- constantly has chosen self-generated hype and short-term thinking over long-range planning. Romo could have won a Super Bowl with a team like the '07 New York Giants or a franchise like the Steelers. It would be great to see him freed from Dallas while he still has a few good years left and prove he hasn't been the biggest problem in Big D all along.
