Statement from Jerry Jones:

“We wish Tony and his family nothing but the best. As an organization, we did what he asked us to do in terms of his release, and we wanted to do what was ultimately in his best interest and in the best interest of his family.

“Tony has been a wonderful representative of the Cowboys organization for 14 years, and he left everything he had on the field. He will leave us with many great memories and a legacy of being, truly, one of the greatest players in Cowboys history. We are thrilled for him and his family that he will be able to continue working as a professional in the game he so dearly loves.


“He is a young man who is just getting started on a long journey in life. All the best my friend.”

Statement from Jason Garrett:

“Tony Romo has a unique combination of athletic ability, arm talent, vision, and instincts for the game. What separates Tony from many other players, however, is a rare competitive spirit. Tony loves to play. Tony loves to compete. The best ones always do. In practice. During games. On the field. Off the field. Tony competes to the end in everything that he does.

“That relentless spirit that Tony plays with is contagious. He makes his teammates better. He makes his coaches better. He makes his team better. He has grown so much as a player and as a person over the course of his career and has made a significant impact on the lives of so many. I consider myself fortunate to be at the top of that list. It has been one of the great privileges of my life to work with Tony Romo, one of the greatest players in Dallas Cowboys history.”

Interesting that Jason describes Romo as a player...not as a former player. I wonder if Romo is still open to NFL offers...that perhaps there is an out clause w/CBS.

You can tell Jerry loves Tony as a person and is speaking like a wise old man tipping his cap to a young man who he admires. His statement is much deeper than just words about Tony being a great football player.

Hope he enjoys his career after football. I pretty much got started watching football when Tony got his start in the game.

I'm sure there's an out clause. I'm not sure Romo's got any such thing planned, but you're right that it's interesting that Garrett, at least subconsciously, is still thinking of Tony as a player and not reflecting generally on a completed body of work.

So I guess JJ lost the poker match.

You cant loose something he never had....Jerry has been horrible when it comes to trades...never has and never will. Jerry is not a poker player...if he wants to play poker he just buys the casino..

Don't take that wrong, Jerry is a great owner who takes care of his players..in that category he is one of the all time best.
