IRVING -- Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones really believes Tony Romo will be the club's starting quarterback for the next four to five years. No, really.
And the Cowboys are making decisions based on that belief.
But they also know Romo's recent run of injuries and the fact he just turned 36 years old means he's not likely to play that long. So the organization does have urgency to find Romo's eventual successor, and that could come as early as Thursday night in the first round of the draft.
