Tony Romo Rumors & News

Last week for my weekly column, I posed the question of whether you would rather have the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback be Alex Smith of Philip Rivers. I'll continue the trend this week with another hotly contested quarterback, this time of the Dallas Cowboys. Would you rather Smith or Tony Romo under center for the Chiefs this season? Smith or Rivers? Let's start with Romo. The former undrafted free agent out of Eastern Illinois has put together a very solid and polarizing career. In his seven years as a starter, Romo has thrown for over 25,000 yards and 177 touchdowns, incl...

It has been a strange day. The team literally took the day off from football, we had some server issues that have made it hard for people to come and get their daily Dallas Cowboys fix on BTB, and some people are engaging in out of character behavior. For instance, when Jerry Jones showed up at the annual team golf outing, the media approached him - and he declined comment. Rumors of a six and a half foot long empty vegetable pod at Valley Ranch are, to date, unverified. You'd think Tony Romo would take advantage of a golf event where he could hardly be criticized. But even when the te...

The Dallas Cowboys have traditionally been a good place for college free agents who went undrafted. Everybody has, of course, heard the story of Tony Romo and Miles Austin, to name just two of the more recent examples of undrafted free agents who eventually ended up as stars for the Cowboys. Over the last three years, 11 UDFA players made the Cowboys' opening-day roster. Here are the Cowboys' UDFAs who survived training camp to make it onto the initial 53-man roster. 2010: OC Phil Costa, S Barry Church, S Danny McCray, FB Chris Gronkowski. 2011: RB Phillip Tanner, OC Kevin Kowalski,...

Tony Romo has decided to cut back on his normal offseason involvement in golf tournaments. Questions abound: What does it mean? How will it impact games? Was it his decision? Was he forced into this by the team? How about: What is the big deal? I saw his decision to not attend tournaments this year mentioned on Twitter, and at first I didn't think much about it. As quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, with a big new contract, additional responsibilities planned for the offense this year, and a new baby at home, I figure he had enough to occupy his time without trying to qualify for PGA l...

Now that the NFL Draft is over, the talk has begun over the biggest remaining signing the Falcons have to make: Matt Ryan's extension. Now that Joe Flacco, Tony Romo and Aaron Rodgers have secured their futures, most analysts believe Ryan is next. And why not - he had his best statistical season in 2012 and finally took the Falcons to a playoff victory. But the question now turns to where Ryan should fit in the QB pay scale. Some people think he'll slot in right behind Rodgers, while others think the lack of a championship ring on his finger should slot him below Flacco but above Romo....

Apparently, Tony Romo is running the Cowboys – Blogging the bEastTony Romo will be taking on new responsibilities this season, according to Jerry Jones. That includes being a member of the scouting staff. Jerry Jones and Co approached Romo and asked him to watch tape of 2nd and 3rd round picks Gavin Escobar and Terrance Williams to see if he liked them. That’s actually a concept I can get on board with… only… they did so on Friday of draft weekend, a day after the draft began… because, you know, there just isn’t enough time before the draft begins to dot all your "i’s" and cross your...
