FRISCO, Texas – It’s a moment that has been discussed breathlessly for months, and on Tuesday the Cowboys confirmed the ending of an era.
Tony Romo has been released by the Dallas Cowboys, concluding a month of speculation about his future with team. The release comes at Romo’s request, as the Pro Bowl quarterback has determined he will retire and pursue a career in broadcasting.
“We wish Tony and his family nothing but the best,” said Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones. “As an organization, we did what he asked us to do in terms of his release, and we wanted to do what was ultimately in his best interest and in the best interest of his family.
