Cowboys officially cut Tony Romo loose

The Dallas Cowboys released quarterback Tony Romo.

What It Means:

He's been designated a post-June 1 release, allowing the Cowboys to spread out his cap hit. He will count $10.7 million against the 2017 cap and $8.9 million in 2018. Although Romo is reportedly going into broadcasting, the move officially frees him to sign with any team if he decides to come back.

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.
