FRISCO, Texas -- In the end, Tony Romo opted to walk away from the NFL on his terms.
League sources told Adam Schefter and me that Romo’s decision came down to his health.
Considering all he had to endure from 2006-15 as the Dallas Cowboys' starter, it is understandable why Romo is set to kick off a broadcasting career and not preparing for his 15th season in the NFL.
He played with a punctured lung and broken rib in Week 2 of the 2011 season against the San Francisco 49ers, even attempting to enter the game before the pain medicine took effect.
