Tony Romo expected to be cut 'within next two weeks'

Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Jerry Jones' decision on quarterback Tony Romo is on its way.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to release Romo "likely within the next two weeks," according to the Dallas Morning News. Jones' team can access $5.1 million in salary cap space if it trades or releases the gunslinger. The franchise saves $14 million in cap space if it makes Romo a post-June 1 cut.

Dak Prescott will return as the Cowboys' starting quarterback after a stellar rookie campaign. The Cowboys aren't expected to bring back Mark Sanchez, but have interest in Josh McCown.

Romo, 36, continues to have his name associated with the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, Houston Texans, and Arizona Cardinals.

Reports on the Broncos have suggested that the franchise will be more interested in Romo as a free agent. 9News Denver's Mike Klis reported that the Broncos are "expected to at least discuss whether to pursue" Romo.

The four-time Pro Bowl selection is allegedly willing to "massage" his contract in order to "work within the cap constraints of a contending team..."
