Jerry Jones revealed on a recent NFL Network episode of "A Football Life" about Tony Romo's career that the former Cowboys quarterback would one day be in the team's Ring of Honor.

The team's owner and general manager explained that decision Tuesday morning.

"First of all, you've heard me say this, if I had to list my No. 1 disappointment since owning the Cowboys, it would be not to have gotten Tony Romo to a Super Bowl," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan's Shan and RJ show [KRLD-FM]. "He's deserving of it. He was that caliber of quarterback. Tony was magnificent for this franchise during his career.

"He elevated the franchise. And that's what the Ring of Honor is about, a player that certainly has got to be a great player in my mind, but they've got to do something that takes a step up for the franchise. While there wasn't a Super Bowl there, I think he's one of the best at his position.

"Bottom line, the answer is yes, he'll be in the Ring of Honor. Now, the detail will follow."

Jones was then asked if he ever tried to talk Romo out of stepping away from the game, even if it meant playing for another team.

His response made it clear that Romo was never going to play for anyone but the Cowboys.

"I will just say, it was never going to be anybody else," Jones said. "We'll leave it at that. It was never going to be anybody else. I can say that succinctly. He was never going to play any place else."
