Because Tony Romo came to take Jerry Jones’ position, Jones is not happy that Romo plays for the Cowboys.
FRISCO Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, said on Monday that he is relieved that Tony Romo won’t be playing for another team—especially one Dallas might have to play against this season.
Ahead of the NFL draft, Jones stated, “Yes, because I think that if he were, there would be real competition for us,” at the team’s annual news conference.
Rather than play on, the veteran quarterback has decided to go to the CBS broadcast booth. It was widely speculated that Romo might end up in Denver or Houston.
However, Jones stated that Romo’s choice couldn’t have benefited Dallas more. It was widely speculated that Romo might end up in Denver or Houston. Romo’s salary cap hit is split over the next two seasons, and the Cowboys designated him as a post-June 1 cut, freeing up $14 million in cap space for 2017, which starts on June 2.

According to Jones, Romo’s decision was “kind of an option quarterback” at the start of the offseason.
Jones declared, “I never once anticipated any angst.” “It worked out as well as I thought we could draw it up,” he stated.
Romo had no bearing on the team’s plans for free agency, according to Jones. Romo was marked by the Cowboys as a post-June 1 cut, meaning his salary cap impact will be divided over the following two seasons. Starting on June 2, it frees up $14 million in space for 2017.
The fact that the draft is starting on Thursday made Jones aware of how much has changed since this time last year. Even so, Jones continued to express his belief that Romo could play for five more seasons. August would see Romo suffer a back injury that would prevent him from ever starting for Dallas. The fourth-round selection of the 2016 NFL Draft, Dak Prescott, emerged as the quarterback of the future for the Cowboys.
