Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has notified all NFL GMs they are permitted to contact Tony Romo or his agent to schedule a workout, visit, or physical, a source tells Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (Twitter links). However, Dallas informed clubs they are “limited to conversations concerning (Romo’s) 2017-19 NFL player contract,” in order to facilitate a trade. Jones, it appears, is trying to safeguard against a team negotiating a potential contract with Romo if he were to be released.

Lately, it’s been hard to get a read on what will happen with Romo. Early indications were that he would be released, allowing him to sign with a contending club like the Broncos or Texans. In recent weeks, Jones has apparently had a change of heart. The Cowboys first want to see if they can get something of substance in return for their longtime star. Romo also has serious interest from both CBS and FOX. CBS, apparently, is interested in giving him Phil Simms’ high-paying and prestigious job as the network’s top NFL color commentator.
Romo last played full-time during the 2014 season, when he completed a league-high 69.9% of his passes for 3,705 yards and 34 touchdowns against just nine interceptions. Romo has three years left remaining on his current deal, and an acquiring club would take on base salaries of $14MM, $19.5MM, and $20.5MM over the next three respective campaigns. A trade would also leave the Cowboys will roughly $20MM in dead money.
