105.3 The Fan's Mike Fisher confirmed the report later Monday.
True. #Cowboys 'permission to negotiate w romo' is a minor step. Because teams still unlikely to trade. But it's a step @1053thefan https://t.co/IVIDEtok84

According to Garafolo, Dallas informed the other clubs that they are "limited to conversations concerning (Romo's) 2017-19 NFL player contract," which indicates the conversations will be centered around a trade discussion.
The Houston Texans and Denver Broncos have been the two teams connected to Romo, but neither team has shown interest in trading for the quarterback at this stage. If Romo decides not to play football, Fisher was the first to report that he'll have multiple offers from television networks to join their NFL coverage.
