To give you an idea of what the Cowboys roster looks like with training camp a month away, we’re breaking it down position by position.
Here’s the situation at quarterback.
Players predicted to make the 53-man roster:
1.) Tony Romo
2.) Brandon Weeden
3.) Dustin Vaughan
Outlook for the 2015 season:
Fresh off a career-year, Tony Romo is entering his 10th season as the Cowboys starting quarterback. And despite multiple back surgeries over the last 26 months, the 35-year-old says he expects to play another 4-5 seasons.
If he continues to play like he did in 2014, it seems possible. Romo earned his fourth Pro Bowl appearance after posting a career-high 113.2 passer rating and throwing 34 touchdowns to only nine interceptions.
More importantly, he participated throughout the entire offseason program for the first time in three years.
“I’ll take the way he’s been playing,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently said. “I will take it and call it a day right now, if you’ll give me the whole year like that. I wouldn’t dare have higher expectations.”
And not only has Romo been taking part in all individual and team drills, his accuracy and confidence appear to be at an all-time high.
“He’s playing at a high level,” Jason Witten said after the final minicamp practice last Thursday. “I don’t know that he threw an interception all offseason. You really found kind of since the St. Louis game [Week 3 last season] he got in a really good niche there where he was playing at a high level and made everybody else play that way. He’s done the same going into the offseason.
“He’s always critiquing, he’s always adjusting, evaluating. The biggest reason why we have such high expectations is because of the way he’s playing, the way he kind of demands everybody else to play at that level, too.”
