Heres what ESPN National Recruiting Analyst Craig Haubert has to say about the resurgent Trojans:The big riser this week was USC, which charged into the top 25 after landing three ESPN 300 prospects. Among the Trojans commitments was versatile offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker and disruptive pass-rusher Hunter Echols, both of which rank among the top 10 at their respective position. -- HaubertRead Hauberts analysis of Vera-Tucker and Echols (Insider)Read Tom Luginbills analysis of Burgess (Insider)See full recruiting rankings (Insider)Ozzie Newsome Jersey . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began.

Joe Thomas Browns Jersey .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.As Tony Romo read his six-minute statement?last month accepting the job as the backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, you could tell he understood his career was at a crossroads.When healthy, Romo is arguably one of the top eight quarterbacks in the NFL. He is 78-49 as a starter, and the Cowboys have averaged 25.4 points per game in those starts -- one of the best marks among active quarterbacks.But Romo is?36 years old, and he has only played four games over the past two seasons due to back and collarbone injuries. Now, after rookie?Dak Prescott won the starting job, Romo and the Cowboys face an interesting decision after the season.The Cowboys could try to get Romo to take a pay cut and stay in Dallas as the backup. They could also try to offload his hefty contract in a trade -- or rellease him outright, which will hurt the Cowboys salary cap.ddddddddddddBefore we get into Romos potential destinations,?lets take a look at which option is most likely, based on my discussions with people around the NFL.First, though, we have to mention his contract. Romo is scheduled to make $14 million next year and $40 million more over the final two years of his current contract, which expires in 2019. While $14 million might not be a lot in a quarterback market that now pays in the range of $20 million per year, that number severely hurts the Cowboys market for Romo in a trade. Not many teams have a need for a starting quarterback and can take on his salary. ' ' '
