Jerry Jones unsure how Romo situation will be resolved

One of the biggest questions of the NFL offseason is how the Dallas Cowboys will handle their quarterback situation, with Dak Prescott entrenched as starter and Tony Romo still on the roster and owed a huge salary.

For now, the Cowboys don't know what they'll do about it.

"The team we have, especially the offensive side, was built for Tony," owner Jerry Jones said in an appearance on KRLD NewsRadio 1080 this week, according to The Dallas Morning News. "This is what it is. It's a juncture we have to address. I don't know how ultimately we will resolve this and nobody should be alarmed because you don't have all the answers. There are some issues here that you just have to see how the cards are playing. But we'll work to this."

It's very hard to imagine Romo returning as a backup at his salary, which means the Cowboys will have to either find a trade partner or cut the veteran passer loose.

Jones suggested the Cowboys will work with Romo to find a resolution both sides are happy with.

"The main thing is we will work through it," he said. "We have a sound enough foundation together that on an individual basis, we will get through this."
