Tony Romo will soon no longer be a Dallas Cowboy. The Cowboys will release the franchise's all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns on Thursday, sources told ESPN, allowing him the chance to sign with another team if he desires while removing any doubt that they have the utmost faith in Dak Prescott.

I'm sure Romo has some good years yet, so whoever picks him up will get a good QB.

Bad move. A desperate team would have traded for him.

Not with his contract. Cowboys literally had no leverage. Despite what Jerry Jones tried to convince people, there was no chance they were going to keep Romo on the roster. The little compensation they might have received wouldn't have been worth them on the hook for his cap hit once the league year starts. Plus I think they have too much respect for Romo not to give him control in searching for a new team.

Yeah, everyone and their mother knew the Cowboys weren't keeping him, so the Cowboys never would have gotten anything for him in a trade. Regardless I think he'd have gone to Denver either way.

Or maybe not...

Apparently Cowboys have changed their mind and will try to trade him to either the Broncos or Texans. Really curious as to what the compensation would be. The only reason why I could imagine the Cowboys would get anything of substance in return is because neither team wants to get in a bidding war.
