The Facts: The Texans traded Brock Osweiler to Cleveland in a move that could possibly facilitate the signing of Romo. The Texans will not trade for Romo, the Cowboys' quarterback, according to two people familiar with the situation. But if he's released, they'll pursue him.

Diehards Line: In case you somehow missed it, the Texans sent Osweiler and a second-round pick in 2018 to the Browns. They traded picks in next month's draft – the Texans getting a fourth-round pick and giving the Browns a selection in the sixth round. The Texans can use the $10 million they cleared under the salary cap, giving them $31.4 million, to re-sign their players and sign free agents from other teams. They are said to be interested in Romo, but the Cowboys now seem more intent on trading than releasing their veteran signal caller. We'll see if that continues. If he is released, the Texans would likely be bidding against the Broncos for Romo's services.
