IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, this week searching for quarterback Tony Romo's eventual replacement.
Romo, who turns 36 in April, will tell anyone listening that he envisions playing another four or five years. Reality says Romo, who missed 12 games this season after breaking his collarbone twice, probably has two years left at an elite level given good health.
So there’s an added desperation to the urgency the former undrafted free agent has to his career because Romo needs a ring to achieve football immortality.
