Cowboys could get second-round pick for Tony Romo

The Cowboys have two excellent quarterbacks on their roster: Tony Romo and Dak Prescott. They will be keeping Prescott, who earned the starting job with a stellar rookie season. They are likely to trade Romo despite owner Jerry Jones’ fierce loyalty to the veteran QB.

At least if the Cowboys do trade Romo, they will be getting something significant in return.

CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reported Friday that the consensus is people around the league believe the Cowboys will be able to get at least a third-round pick for Romo. The report says a third-round pick could escalate to a second depending on performance. He also says the Chiefs and Texans are mentioned as potential fits for a trade.

7 teams that could be next season's Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons began the 2016 season with worse odds to win the Super Bowl than the Jaguars, Jets and Chargers. In fact, only four teams had worse odds than the Falcons. They came out of nowhere to reach the Super Bowl, putting together one of the best offensive seasons in NFL history. No one expected them to make it as far as they did, but for several reasons, they surprised everyone outside of Atlanta and nearly won it all.

Despite overtime finish, NFL Super Bowl draws lower TV ratings

Fox Television's broadcast of Super Bowl LI on Sunday night drew 111.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen data released by the network on Monday, the smallest audience for the National Football League's title game in four years.

The contest included a thrilling finish, with the New England Patriots staging a comeback to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in the National Football league's first-ever Super Bowl overtime. The Patriots returned from a 25-point deficit and quarterback Tom Brady, 39, won his record fifth championship.

The Falcons were in control for much of the game, with a 28-3 lead midway through the third quarter. That likely dragged down ratings for Fox, which posted the least-viewed Super Bowl since 2013, when 108.7 million watched the Baltimore Ravens defeat the San Francisco 49ers.

Last year's Super Bowl drew a 111.9 million viewers to CBS Corp's CBS, while the Patriots' previous title game appearance in 2015 helped Comcast Corp's NBC television draw 114.4 million viewers, the most-watched TV broadcast in U.S. history.

Despite the lower viewership, the brief overtime, in which the Patriots scored a touchdown in their first possession, allowed Fox to add four more commercials, which added as much as $20 million to its intake; Fox was charging $5 million for 30-seconds of airtime during the game.

The network brought in an estimated $509.6 million in ad revenue for the broadcast, according to research firm iSpot.TV.
