Tony Romo Retires

1. Real Recognize Real

   Terrance Williams @TerranceWill2

   Tony🐐Romo thank you for everything. @tonyromo

2. Romo Watch Will Never End

   Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

   One NFL exec texted now: "Romo is now every teams emergency backup qb in case your starter gets hurt, pay him to come out of "retirement.' "

3. Golf Too?

   Ian Rapoport @RapSheet

   The CBS job was the most attractive to Tony Romo — being in the No. 1 booth and doing golf. In his mind, not a tough call.

4. 👀

   Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

   Tony Romo now will be in line to work with Jim Nantz as the color commentator for Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, Georgia.

6. Woo!

   Ric Flair® @RicFlairNatrBoy

   Wish you nothing but the best @tonyromo https://t.co/pHCFwCoxDi

   Master Tesfatsion @MasterTes

   Mannnnnn Romo bout to call two preseason games then sign with the Texans https://t.co/tqEwLZTYWi

9. Always Remember the Good Times

   NFL Films @NFLFilms

   As a salute to the @dallascowboys all-time leader in TD passes & yds announcing his retirement, here's @tonyromo's perfect drive. #SoundFX https://t.co/ZmISibqbIH

10. Andrew Brandt @AndrewBrandt

    Per @toddarcher Cowboys expected to make Romo post-June 1 release, meaning $10.7M Cap hit this year (3rd highest on team), $8.9M next year.

12. Ian Rapoport @RapSheet

    If #Cowboys release Tony Romo, that ends it. If he sends a letter to the team, they put him on reserve/retired. Otherwise DAL must carry him

13. All the Romo Fans Right Now 🙏

    ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk

    Is it possible Romo's people are floating that he's retiring to ensure that the Cowboys follow through on actually releasing him this time?

14. 'That's My Teammate'

    Darren Woodson @darrenwoodson28

    Tony Romo plans to retire from football, go into broadcasting https://t.co/pDgrztcESM

15. Give That Man His Due

    NFL @NFL

    Tony Romo's career passer rating = 😳 https://t.co/r1ZhcASMGr

16. Well, There You Have It

    Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

    Tony Romo is leaving football and going into broadcasting, even with Dallas planning to release him today, sources tell @toddarcher and me.

18. Will Romo Do Too Much Too Fast?

    Richard Deitsch @richarddeitsch

    If I'm Romo's TV agent, I'm advising taking a No. 2 NFL analyst job this year. Jumping into top analyst spot is a BIG leap w little margin.

19. Not Too Shabby

    Andrew Brandt @AndrewBrandt

    Romo career earnings over $127 million in 14 seasons. Not bad for a guy who signed as an undrafted free agent for a $10,000 signing bonus.

20. Well, Well...

    mike freeman @mikefreemanNFL

    Starting to see "Tony Romo is a Hall of Famer tweets." No. Just stop.

21. Conflicting Reports?

    Clay Travis @ClayTravis

    I’m told Tony Romo won’t be joining @foxsports. That leaves CBS and NBC as potential landing spots.

23. Ramifications All Over the NFL

    Jeff Howe @jeffphowe

    Romo would've helped the Texans or Broncos catch up to the Patriots, even if only slightly. Texans now might have to find a QB at No. 25. https://t.co/utZJbZFF7l

24. Romo with the Hard Pass

    Jim Weber @JimMWeber

    Texans: "OK, we traded away Brock, come on down I-45 to Houston!" Romo: "Uh, yeah, I'm retiring..." Texans: https://t.co/B8qmnE9zhO

25. A Silver Lining...

    Nick Veronica @NickVeronica

    When Tony Romo retires and everyone can stop asking if the Bills are trading for him https://t.co/5ZiLiepLUp

26. Adam Caplan @caplannfl

    Romo's decision impacts QB situations for multiple teams... Will be an interesting period leading up to the draft. https://t.co/VTho46WEnC

27. Respect to the Best

    Joe Caporoso @JCaporoso

    Hell of a career for Romo. Always a blast to watch him play. Thought HOU or KC could have made a legit run with him if he was healthy #NFL https://t.co/1oadmOBjWb

29. Savvy Business Decision by Romo

    Ken Carman @KenCarman

    $2-$3mil a year to sit at a desk and not risk your back becoming shattered glass. Well done, Romo.

30. Solid Advice 😂

    Jeff Eisenband @JeffEisenband

    .@tonyromo: "Get out of my way." @AROD: "You'd make a great broadcaster." https://t.co/jo5uxHw9qE

31. ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk

    Prediction (not entirely a guess): The Romo broadcasting contract will let him return to football during the season if he chooses.

32. 💰💰

    Mike Jurecki @mikejurecki

    Romo career earnings $127.4M. https://t.co/dXIDY8mhRv

33. How Will Tony Fare?

    Barry Horn @bhorn55

    Tony Romo to TV: The most successful ex-Cowboy QB to tiptoe into broadcasting is Troy Aikman. The 1 who became biggest TV star: Don Meredith

35. Lee Schechter @LeeSchechter

    Did not see this one coming for Romo. Would assume it is to protect his body. He will be very good in broadcasting.
