According to ESPN, the Cowboys plan to release him today.
Romo, who will be turning 37 later this month, missed all of last season due to a back injury which paved the way for rookie sensation Dak Prescott to take over the huddle.
A number of teams, including the Broncos and Texans, were interested in the longtime Cowboys QB but he ultimately decided sitting in a nice, comfortable studio chair was better than getting punished every Sunday.
Although, there’s still the possibility he could come out of a retirement if a team suffers a catastrophic injury at the quarterback position.
Tony Romo is leaving football and going into broadcasting, even with Dallas planning to release him today, sources tell @toddarcher and me.
One NFL exec texted now: “Romo is now every teams emergency backup qb in case your starter gets hurt, pay him to come out of “retirement.’ “
Tony Romo earned $127 million in his career, $40 million more than any other NFL undrafted free agent.
