This time last year Cowboys fans, media, and probably the organization itself had no clue exactly what the immediate future of the Dallas Cowboys would look like, certainly not beyond Tony Romo, but even with him. With Romo coming off collarbone surgery and having barely played in the 2015-16 season, fans and the team alike could do nothing but cross their fingers that he could make it through 2016 healthy, and give the team a chance to compete for a Super Bowl as they did in 2014.
Unfortunately for the team, the future beyond Romo looked even more uncertain.
