According to many outlets. No trap here. Devastated.

I don't get "devastated".... I'm happy for Romo, if this is true, he's a Bronco, and he'll be a starter on a good team. Happy for him

Cowboys set to release Tony Romo barring last-second deal, Broncos/Texans favorite
Dallas is releasing the quarterback according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora



Barring a last-second trade market emerging, the Cowboys are moving on from the Tony Romo era when free agency kicks off according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora.

Romo will be released on Thursday at the beginning of free agency and when that happens, multiple teams will begin chasing the quarterback. The primary suitors are the teams you’ve been hearing about for a while: the Broncos and the Texans.

Ahead of free agency (and even the legal tampering period) rumors were abounding that the Broncos and Texans were “ready to pursue” Romo .

The Chiefs have been more or less removed from contention for Romo, with GM John Dorsey telling CBSSports.com that it’s “case closed” for Kansas Cityin terms of their quarterback next year. Alex Smith is the guy.

A darkhorse candidate (the Jaguars perhaps?) could emerge, but it’s clear Romo wants to go to a contender. And it’s also clear that Jerry Jones wants to keep him out of the NFC and certainly the NFC East .

But largely for Romo to work, the team he’s heading to needs to be a contender and needs to be someone in the AFC.

Romo will leave the Cowboys much to the chagrin of Jerry Jones, who has long considered the quarterback one of his favorite players. Romo is the Cowboys all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns, but there’s no doubt that the end to his run in Dallas comes in bittersweet fashion, as he was unable to take Dallas to the promised land and had to watch Dak Prescott emerge as the franchise’s future in his final season playing for the star.

Next year offers a remarkable opportunity for Romo, though, as he showed in limited action against the Eagles late in the year he can still sling the ball around. Now it’s about how can lock him down to take their team to the next level.

The Broncos already have Paxton Lynch on the roster, but John Elway hasn’t been afraid to pursue veteran options that give his team an extra gear. For the Texans, there’s an in-state appeal to Romo and the “safety net” of Brock Osweiler should things go awry.

No surprise. Despite all the talk, this was always going to be the outcome.

That would be sweet, as it might be the only time in the regular season Romo will be healthy.

Vs. any other defensive front he might not make it out of the first series

100% this is Jerry and the Cowboys doing Romo a favor. Romo earned it.

I don't believe there is no trade market. There just is no trade market involving the Texans and Broncos.

Thanks for the memories, Tony!

Man, the writing has been on the wall for a long time. It's like knowing your 100 year old grandmother is going to pass for months. You shouldn't be devastated by something so clear. You reflect on the good times and his success and wish him the best and move on.

Or just become a Broncos or Texans fan

Only question now is, is this a post 6/1 designation or an outright release?

Which, I think, means it was just as much about money as it was doing Romo a "favor".
