Tony Romo is now expected to be traded rather than released by the Dallas Cowboys, with both the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans being potential trade partners, according to league sources.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo replaced Dak Prescott to see his first regular-season action since Thanksgiving 2015.
Tony Romo is expected to play for the first time since Thanksgiving 2015 when the Cowboys play the Eagles on Sunday in the regular-season finale.
The Cowboys plan to start Dak Prescott on Sunday against the Eagles with No. 3 quarterback Mark Sanchez handling the majority of snaps, a source said Thursday. Tony Romo is not expected to play.
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he does not want Tony Romo to take a snap in the Week 17 finale on Sunday against the Eagles because it wouldn't be "worth the risk."
Cowboys GM Jerry Jones said "you'll know it when you see it," when talking about a potential change from Dak Prescott to Tony Romo down the stretch.
