Report: Romo intends to play in 2017 despite TV interest

Kirby Lee / USA TODAY Sports

While it's uncertain which uniform he'll be wearing, Tony Romo remains set on playing next season and has no plans to retire, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Romo is drawing strong interest from several TV networks that want him to work as a color analyst, adds Schefter.

However, the 37-year-old still intends to play in 2017 and is widely expected to leave the Dallas Cowboys this offseason.

The veteran quarterback lost his starting job to Dak Prescott after suffering a significant back injury in the preseason.

It's the third serious back injury of Romo's career, which has prompted some to believe he could opt for retirement rather than moving to a new team.
