If we trade for him and he gets hurt, he can be cut with no dead money.
It's essentially a low risk/huge reward roll of the dice.
Trading for Romo and drafting a QB high in the draft is absolutely the right move.

Romo is most definitely a backup at best. The Cowboys left him in that backup roll after he was healthy for a rookie late round draft pick. A team that hast stood by him with his glaring flaws. They have gotten a chance to move on from him and will do it faster than someone playing hot potato. He is not a top 5 QB in this league. He has not been able to lead that team anywhere when a late round rookie QB has. He has not been much more than a choker that cannot stay healthy.
