The Tony Romo hostage crisis in Dallas officially began on May 9.
Romo was told he was going to be released by the Dallas Cowboys and then team's brass reneged on that option with plans of trying to trade him rather than letting him go for free.
Eleven days later, the situation remains unresolved. Romo remains in limbo.
But he is not in a sunken place.
While the Cowboys control his rights, Romo is not without say regarding his future.
The delay seemingly favors the Cowboys as they hope to squeeze blood out of a turnip in their quest to create a trade market for a soon-to-be 37-year old quarterback, who has played in five games since 2014 because of injuries.
