Cowboys still haven’t totally moved on from the Tony Romo era

It’s been nearly two months since Tony Romo announced his retirement, but the Dallas Cowboys still haven’t made a clean break with the four time Pro Bowl quarterback.

Romo’s locker remains unoccupied, and no one on the current roster is wearing his old No. 9, according to ESPN. The 37-year-old has yet to file his retirement paperwork and hasn’t completely shut the door on a possible comeback, telling reporters in April that he’s 99 percent sure he won’t return for another season.

The Cowboys effectively ended Romo era in Dallas last season, when rookie Dak Prescott was named the starter early in the year to replace the injured veteran and then Prescott’s role became permanent late in the season.
