Tony Romo says goodbye to Cowboys fans in an emotional video

Tony Romo will reportedly be released by Dallas tomorrow.

Romo would not play a meaningful snap for Dallas again. Instead, Jones pushed the pause button Thursday, seeking to pry a draft pick from a suitor. There are no roster bonuses or escalator dates in Romo’s contract. That 3,700-yard, 34-touchdown performance in 15 games was strong enough to earn him second-team All-Pro honors and set the foundation for a late-career revival in the Lone Star State. San Francisco balked at that request, opting to threaten to just keep Kaepernick if the Broncos did not make a move.

Today is the first day of the NFL’s league year. He knew it when he made his heartfelt speech in November when he was healthy, but conceded the job he held for a decade was now Dak Prescott’s. Tony Romo has carried this franchise for a decade.

Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian painted the following scenario as a roadmap for any deal on ESPN radio Friday.

That moment began a dichotomy for Romo’s career. If New York can fix its offensive line and fill needs at running back, we could be looking at a challenger to the reigning NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys. Should the Cowboys continue to pursue a Tony Romo trade?

Waiting on the bench for either the Broncos or Texans to call. Jones told Romo that he had waited to determine whether another team might offer the Cowboys something in a trade for the oft-injured quarterback. He will count $10.7 million against the cap in 2017 and $8.9 million next season. And at $14 million base salary, Tony is still a great deal.

If the Cowboys trade Romo, they take the full $19.6 million salary cap hit this season, but won’t have any dead money next year. He was released by the Cleveland Browns last month after two seasons.

While the Broncos were expected to sign Romo if he became a free agent, the Texans are the ones now in the driver’s seat to land him. The obvious import of the leak is clear; the Broncos want the Cowboys to understand that they won’t be trading for Romo under any circumstances.
