Rather than wait around while Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones looked for a team to trade him to, instead of releasing him, Tony Romo, has decided to retire from the NFL.
According to the Associated Press, Romo will announce his decision on Tuesday, April 4.
The talented, but oft-injured quarterback lost his starting job to rookie Dak Prescott last season while on the mend from a back injury, that caused him to miss the first 10 weeks.
The Houston Texans and Denver Broncos were said to be interested in pursuing Romo if the Cowboys released him. But neither team was willing to trade for him because of his history of injuries.
Romo will now pursue a career in the broadcast booth. Fox, CBS and NBC are said to be interested in hiring him as an analyst.
The 36-year old superstar finishes his 14-year career with 34,183 passing yards, 248 passing touchdowns and a career 97.1 QBR.
