It’s no secret that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and longtime franchise quarterback Tony Romo are close. So it’s likely going to be a difficult offseason with the prospect of the two parting ways; Dak Prescott showed in his rookie year that he is very likely the Cowboys’ quarterback of the future, and with Romo believing he has a couple of good years left before retiring, he won’t be spending the twilight of his career as a backup if he can be a starter elsewhere.

On Tuesday, during his weekly radio spot with 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, Jones expressed his confidence that Romo still has some good games ahead of him:

“I really believe that Tony Romo will play in a Super Bowl,” Jones said. “Now try that one on. I know that if he’s healthy enough, he’ll be in a Super Bowl. I strongly believe that.”

To which EA Sports’ Madden 17, or at least the person that runs its Twitter account, had a response:

We'll send him a copy of #Madden17… https://t.co/utqI0oaY9D — EA SPORTS Madden NFL (@EAMaddenNFL) January 17, 2017





“We’ll send him a copy of #Madden17,” the tweet said, implying that Romo’s best chance to get to the big game is virtually, with a controller in his hands and not a football.

It’s pretty savage, unless you’re a die-hard Romo fan, in which case you may not see the humor in it.

As for Romo’s future in Dallas, Jones said it’s “my decision” what happens with the 36-year old Romo, and that no decision has been made at this point. Currently, Romo’s 2017 salary cap number is $24.7 million, which makes it difficult to trade him, unless he agrees to a contract restructuring to go along with a move.
