ng job, Romo and the Cowboys face an interesting decision after

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have released fullback Lawrence Vickers, not a surprising move considering their recent emphasis on an offence with two tight ends. The move announced Friday came after Vickers had back surgery following the season and worked only on the side during off-season practices. Dallas is unlikely to carry a fullback on the roster after loading up on tight ends behind Jason Witten. The Cowboys drafted Gavin Escobar in the second round and signed veteran Dante Rosario. Second-year player James Hanna is also in the mix. The 30-year-old Vickers played in all 16 games in his only season in Dallas, finishing with three carries for 11 yards and 13 catches for 104 yards. He had two tackles on special teams. He also played for Cleveland and Houston.

Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork.

As Tony Romo read his six-minute statement?last month accepting the job as the backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, you could tell he understood his career was at a crossroads.When healthy, Romo is arguably one of the top eight quarterbacks in the NFL. He is 78-49 as a starter, and the Cowboys have averaged 25.4 points per game in those starts -- one of the best marks among active quarterbacks.But Romo is?36 years old, and he has only played four games over the past two seasons due to back and collarbone injuries. Now, after rookie?Dak Prescott won the starting job, Romo and the Cowboys face an interesting decision after the season.The Cowboys could try to get Romo to take a pay cut and stay in Dallas as the backup. They could also try to offload his hefty contract in a trade -- or rellease him outright, which will hurt the Cowboys salary cap.ddddddddddddBefore we get into Romos potential destinations,?lets take a look at which option is most likely, based on my discussions with people around the NFL.First, though, we have to mention his contract. Romo is scheduled to make $14 million next year and $40 million more over the final two years of his current contract, which expires in 2019. While $14 million might not be a lot in a quarterback market that now pays in the range of $20 million per year, that number severely hurts the Cowboys market for Romo in a trade. Not many teams have a need for a starting quarterback and can take on his salary. ' ' '
