Cowboys' Tony Romo retiring from NFL
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will retire after 13 seasons in the National Football League.
The Cowboys plan to release Romo on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, but he's electing to turn in his cleats for an opportunity to pursue a career in broadcasting. However, it sounds like Romo, who turns 37 later this month, will leave the door open for a potential return. Jane Slater of NFL Network says Romo would "consider" a return if the Cowboys needed him, while Pro Football Talk believes any contract he signs outside of football will include the option to return to the field. One of the best, as well as most under-appreciated, quarterbacks of his generation, Romo will be worthy of Hall of Fame consideration.
If Romo never throws another pass in the NFL, he'll finish with 34,183 passing yards (29th-most all-time), 248 passing touchdowns (21st) and a 65.3 completion percentage (5th). He recorded a 78-49 record across 10 seasons as a starter.
