When Tony Romo announced his retirement on Tuesday, he made life easier in the short-term for the Chiefs, but a bit more difficult in the long-term.
On Tuesday, Tony Romo (possibly) put an end to the rumor mill that would not stop churning concerning his future. After a full offseason marked by several weeks of whether or not the Dallas Cowboys would release or trade Romo to any number of teams, the mill finally stopped as Romo announced his retirement from the NFL.
Given his injury history, back problems and advancing age, it’s not a surprise at all to see Romo walk away from the game in the bigger picture. However it is surprising given that Romo was ignoring overtures from the likes of CBS to jump into broadcasting for the sake of continuing his playing career in the last few days and weeks. The Houston Texans and Denver Broncos were obvious homes for Romo, and Dallas was going to have to give up playing a game of roster chicken at some point to let him go. In other words, Romo was likely only weeks from having the new home he’d been waiting for.
However and whenever things changed for Tony Romo is another story, however. What’s interesting is that if Romo is indeed finished as an NFL quarterback, it’s a reality that makes life for the Kansas City Chiefs both a bit easier in the short term as well as a bit more difficult in the long-term. And it’s something that fans (and John Dorsey) will feel the effects of in only 3 weeks.
