On Tuesday, Tony Romo (possibly) put an end to the rumor mill that would not stop churning concerning his future. After a full offseason marked by several weeks of whether or not the Dallas Cowboys would release or trade Romo to any number of teams, the mill finally stopped as Romo announced his retirement from the NFL.
Given his injury history, back problems and advancing age, it’s not a surprise at all to see Romo walk away from the game in the bigger picture. However it is surprising given that Romo was ignoring overtures from the likes of CBS to jump into broadcasting for the sake of continuing his playing career in the last few days and weeks.
