Tony🐐Romo thank you for everything. @tonyromo
Health Was a Major Factor
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.' "
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.

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.
Woo!

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
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.
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

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?

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.
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.
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.
Well, Well...

Starting to see "Tony Romo is a Hall of Famer tweets." No. Just stop.
Conflicting Reports?
Clay Travis @ClayTravis
I’m told Tony Romo won’t be joining @foxsports. That leaves CBS and NBC as potential landing spots.
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
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
A Silver Lining...

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

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

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
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.
