Romo to be honorary Maverick for final home game

April 08 23:00 2017

The word “retirement” never came out of Tony Romo’s mouth in his introductory conference call with CBS on Tuesday. “Sometimes you’d be like ‘let’s chill out.’ I learned a lot from his perspective, really into searching for the best possible answer no matter what”. “I think Tony will be having all sorts of work this summer”. Romo will not play, the person said. “I’m making this decision with the choice to be able to play as well”, said Romo, who turns 37 this month. Romo is not expected to actually play in the game. So, I didn’t know where it could be with football.

If the circumstances were different, I guarantee you that we’d see Romo back in an National Football League uniform. He just seemed like a decent guy.

“As my heart pounded, I got off the plane, grabbed my luggage and headed for the shuttle, eagerly waiting for the next morning to arrive and my journey as a Dallas Cowboy to begin!”

Romo, who was signed through 2019, had a $14 million base salary and a $24.7 million salary cap hit for the Cowboys this season.

By drafting studs on the offensive line such as Tyron Smith and Travis Frederick. Some seasons he had no defense.

His playoff debut a little more than 10 years ago illustrated the playoff struggles ahead when Romo infamously flubbed the snap on what could have been a winning field goal in Seattle.

“He’s been great”, Romo said on 105.3. It’s like the 50-plus points never happened. They have a large enough stable of announcers to plug someone else in should Romo renege and go chase that emergency gig.

Here are the winners and losers from the ripple effect of Romo stepping away from football. It was probably because he was a quarterback from the FCS level. “Ultimately, he became a player that would set the highest standard for himself, because he knew it would create higher expectations for all of those around him”. There were 13 quarterbacks taken in the draft.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo (black hat) watches the game between the Dallas Mavericks and the New York Knicks at the American Airlines Center. From there, Romo kept working.

The decision to bench our Pro Bowl-caliber, healthy veteran quarterback will top my list of Jones’ epic decisions in Cowboys History.

There was a time Garrett would go to basketball games with Romo, Jason Witten and DeMarco Murray. He kept working, though.

Players get replaced. Coaches have to win. He threw for more than 20 touchdowns only ONCE in his entire career. Romo has a 2-4 playoff mark.

All Romo did was continue to succeed. After 34,183 passing yards and 248 touchdowns, the great #9 has made a decision to hang up his cleats. All this as an undrafted quarterback. (Dave) Krieg! Kerry Collins and Vinny Testaverde. No offense to Garcia, but that’s a pretty big dropoff.

Golden: Romo’s off to CBS, but is something wrong with this picture?

So there’s only one way to describe Romo’s career: an unequivocal success.

CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus said the network planned to keep Simms and was working on finding another role for their lead analyst the past 19 seasons.

My best get-off ever all for naught thanks to that spin.
