The Rams will not pursue Tony Romo, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com tweets. This presumably means they won’t look into a trade for Romo or kick the tires on him if he hits the open market. 
With Case Keenum set for free agency, it stands to reason that the Rams could be in the market for a veteran quarterback to pair with Jared Goff. However, one has to imagine that Romo will at least want to compete for a starting job somewhere. It’s hard to see Romo going along with holding the clipboard for Goff, the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft.
The Rams paid a ransom to the Titans last offseason to trade up to the top spot for Goff, so it’s no surprise they want him to handle the reins going forward. Goff appeared in only eight games as a rookie (seven starts) and posted a 54.7 percent completion rate, averaged 5.31 yards per attempt and tossed five touchdowns against seven interceptions. He’ll now attempt to reach his potential with new head coach Sean McVay. Romo, meanwhile, seems likely to end up with a team that’s closer to contention and either devoid of a No. 1 signal-caller or willing to bench its starter in favor of the soon-to-be 37-year-old.
Romo won’t pursue the Rams either
Thank you, Jason La Canfora, for telling us that the team that just used the No. 1 overall pick (and traded a bounty to get up there) is not going to be pursuing Tony Romo as a veteran mentor. I’m so happy for you that you get paid to tell people stuff like this.
