So there are reports Romo can return if the Cowboys need him...kinda weird. I don't think he is retiring.

What happened to the two-way "do right" agreement between Jerry and Tony? This looks like some shady maneuvering by Jerry to get Romo to "do right" by Jerry even if Jerry doesn't reciprocate.

Jerry lied about releasing Tony. Then Jerry continued to chase a trade for Tony even when Jerry knew there was no chance of that happening. Jerry dragged out the process until it was too late for Tony to pursue an opportunity as a FA.

Now, I assume Jerry is telling Tony that it's for the best that Tony isn't going to another team because Tony can retire to protect his health (and get his salary and cap hit off the Cowboys books) and move on to a new career. And, BTW, he's no doubt telling Tony that the Cowboys would bring him back (forget about the health part) as their starter if he is needed.

This stinks to high heaven as a confidence scheme (flim-flam) pulled on Tony by Jerry. Jerry just picked Tony's pocket for millions of dollars.
