The Facts: A logical ending point to Romo's days in Dallas should be April 17. It's the start of the Cowboys' offseason workout program.

Diehards Line: According to CBSSports.com's Joel Curry, a former agent, if Romo is still under contract to the Cowboys at this time, he needs to seriously consider playing the hand he has been dealt by using the tools at his disposal to try to accelerate his departure from the Cowboys. That is, if his goal is to play football next season. If so, he is going to want as much time as possible to learn a new offensive system with another team and develop chemistry with new receivers. Current went on to express his belief that Romo probably doesn’t want to end his career as a backup after looking pretty sharp leading the Cowboys to a touchdown in his lone drive against the Eagles during the regular-season finale, which was his first real game action since Week 12 in 2015. ... Meanwhile, the drama is ongoing with CBS and FOX TV gigs also in the mix. And Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has hinted the situation might not be resolved until training camp starts. If Curry is right, we won't have to wait that long.
