Tony Romo isn't expected to be with the Dallas Cowboys in 2017. Dak Prescott looked like a franchise quarterback as a rookie and Romo wants to start somewhere in 2017.

The Buffalo Bills reportedly have 'significant interest' in Tony Romo and former NFL head coach Herm Edwards see the Bills as a good fit for the veteran QB.

In an appearance on ESPN First Take, Edwards suggested that Jerry Jones trade Romo to Buffalo.

"It's real simple," Edwards said. "(Jerry Jones) mentioned it. He said this Dallas Cowboy team is built for Tony Romo. Well if it's built for Tony Romo a couple of things come into mind. What team is similar to this that needs help? Buffalo Bills."

Edwards believes that Buffalo will not pick up Tyrod Taylor's option and explains that the Bills and Cowboys were both among the league's best running teams.

"They have Tyrod Taylor up there. They're not going to pay him the $15 million that he's due probably March 12. Probably going to cut him. Do you work a deal with the Buffalo Bills? Because when you think about the Buffalo Bills understand this: The number one running team in the National Football League? Buffalo Bills. The number two running team in the National Football League? Dallas Cowboys."

Edwards elaborated on his reasons why Romo is a good fit with the Bills.

"So they (Buffalo) have an offensive line. They have an outstanding runner. They some perimeter players. Have a defensive head coach that's going there in Sean McDermott who was in the NFC East who faced Tony Romo a many-a-Sunday. He understands what Tony Romo brings to the table."

While Edwards believes that Romo would bring energy to Buffalo, he did point out that the Bills would still be playing for second in the AFC East behind the Patriots.

Although Edwards sees Buffalo as a fit for Romo, Stephen A. Smith did not agree. He believes that the weather would not benefit the veteran quarterback.

Edwards made an interesting argument, but there are some flaws in his thinking. One reason why the Bills finished as the league's top running team is due to Tyrod Taylor. The quarterback rushed for 580 yards in 2016.

The former head coach also implied that the Bills have a strong offensive line. Buffalo's offensive line was strong in terms of run blocking, but pass blocking wasn't necessarily their greatest strength. Taylor's mobility helped him avoid many sacks.

If Romo was brought into Buffalo, addressing the right tackle position would become priority No. 1.Edwards was correct about the team having a terrific running back (LeSean McCoy) and at least one perimeter player (Sammy Watkins).

It's certainly possible that Romo ends up in Buffalo this season, but he may not be as great of a fit as Edwards believes.
