Romo eyes lengthy return
Injuries have been an issue at times for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, but the veteran NFL star is far from thinking about retirement.
Romo believes that he has four or five more good years left as he is signed through the 2019 season.
“I’m not in my mid-20s anymore, but I do think based on what my situation has been like the last three or four years, I do think this (offseason) is drastically different,” Romo told ESPN.com after Wednesday’s organized team activity. “It takes me back five years ago when I was able to do things the way (I had). I’m not there yet. I still got these months to just get after it, but it’s exciting to actually be able to get after it a little bit. But if everything keeps going the way it’s going, I think it’s going to be exciting going into camp.”
