There is nothing in the NFL that is generating more coverage of less actually happening than the ongoing soap opera that is the prolonged departure of Tony Romo from the Dallas Cowboys. What had once looked to be a quick, amicable parting is now steeped in mystery, especially since Romo has not discussed his intentions. And the expected suitors for his services seem to be making no effort at all to get him.
This is a situation that was already difficult, and it has only become increasingly awkward as time has drug out. It had appeared that things were going to come to a quick conclusion at one point, with the announcement that Romo’s release was imminent, but there seemed to be a disconnect on that with something changing in the Cowboys front office.
