Tony Romo retires

The Dallas Cowboys are parting ways with veteran quarterback Tony Romo.  ESPN reports the team has filed the paperwork to release Romo, who has reached a verbal agreement with CBS to become the network's top color commentator.  He will work alongside veteran Jim Nantz.  The move will save the Cowboys 14-million-dollars in salary cap space this season.  Romo ends his tenure in Dallas as the franchise's all-time leader in several categories including passing yards and touchdowns.  The 36-year-old spent his entire 14-year career with the Cowboys after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Illinois.
