Day Four of NFL free agency, and Tony Romo is still a Dallas Cowboy but Doug Free isn’t.
Go figure.
While the Jones family and the Broncos and Texans continued to play poker Saturday, the Cowboys reportedly learned that Free – as in, “holding ... number 68 ... offense” – has decided to retire.
Whoa. Free, 33, is going to walk away from $5 million, his salary for 2017?
The timing seems less than appropriate for the franchise, coming just hours after learning that veteran guard Ron Leary had signed a four-year deal with Denver.
