From my understanding, Romo and the Jones family have a really close relationship and it would not surprise me if Romo has been promised a role in the organization upon retirement regardless if he continues playing for a couple years or decides to retire now. As it is today, he's currently under contract and stands to make a ridiculous amount of money for being a backup and is guaranteed a healthy sum even if he's cut June 1, he likely has a future management role with the Cowboys, he has other options outside of football which will likely pay well if he decides to go that route, so why should he get upset with Jones for delaying his release? I personally think Romo is playing along with Jones and would love for Dallas to get something in return in a trade. Yes, please Texans, just hold off and don't do anything stupid. If Romo doesn't come here, big freaking deal.
