Tony Romo and Jason Garrett’s relationship status is just as complicated as the quarterback’s future in the NFL.

Romo, 36, remains on the Cowboys roster two weeks after delivering an emotional farewell to Dallas faithful. But his friendship with the head coach he reportedly fractured long before.

Romo approached Cowboys senior vice president of public relations, Rich Dalrymple, ahead of the Nov. 20 game against the Ravens to stage a press conference to publicly back Dak Prescott, who had emerged as a rookie phenom at quarterback in Romo’s absence for the first-place Cowboys. Garrett reportedly was left in the dark about Romo’s speech, which came while Romo still was nursing a back injury that forced him to miss most of the season.

“The Cowboys head coach was put in the position of praising a statement he had no idea his quarterback was going to give. The fact that Romo didn’t run his comments by Garrett or inform him as a courtesy was a slap to his authority,” reported the Dallas Morning News.

The frost between Romo and Garrett carried over to the offseason. During last month’s scouting combine in Indianapolis, Garrett disclosed he hadn’t spoken with Romo since the season’s end.

On Tuesday, Garrett joined several members of the Cowboys offensive line and tight end Jason Witten for a team photo with Golden State’s Steph Curry as the Warriors battled the Dallas Mavericks. Romo, who likely will land with another team in the coming weeks, was nowhere to be seen.
