Cowboys quarterback is interested in playing for the Broncos next season if the Cowboys decide to trade him, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports.
Romo has missed the first nine games of the season with a back injury and though he is healthy enough to return to the field, he will serve as Dak Prescott’s backup in Sunday’s game against the Eagles. Romo acknowledged this week that the team is right to hand the reins to the rookie.
With his $20 million salary cap hit, carrying Romo as the Cowboys’ backup quarterback isn’t feasible, making it increasingly likely Dallas will look to trade its former franchise player.
