After being with the Dallas Cowboys for 14 years, quarterback Tony Romo has become a free agent as he was released on Thursday.

Romo joined the 2003 NFL Draft but was never picked. As a free agent, he went on to become a Cowboy. It wasn't until 2006 when he had to replace Drew Bledsoe to make his first snap against the New York Giants. Since then, Romo was the trusted man to lead the team. Throughout his career he has taken hits and sacks but was able to come out with a total of 248 touchdowns along with over 31,000 yards. Romo has only appeared in the playoffs four times and had only one victory.

In the 2016 pre-season, Romo suffered a dislocated collarbone, which would sit him down on the bench throughout the regular season. With Dak Prescott's impressive performance during the season, Romo made an announcement to the press that he was handing the torch down to Prescott. With Prescott as quarterback and his outstanding running back, Ezekiel Elliot, the Cowboys went on to the playoffs with a hopeful Super Bowl appearance, but weren't able to take down Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

With Romo released, teams now have eyes on him. The teams that are looking at him the most are the Denver Broncos and the Houston Texans.

After Peyton Manning's retirement, the Broncos weren't able to earn a playoff spot as they had Trevor Siemian who only started his career last season. The Broncos ended the season with a record of 9-7.

Texan's quarterback, Brock Osweiler, on the other hand, was able to defeat the Oakland Raiders in the Wild Card but wasn't able to get through the Super Bowl champs, New England Patriots. Before the season, both Osweiler and Siemian signed a four deal.

With these teams looking at Romo, it will probably be a good spot for him since he is not meant to be a backup quarterback. According to a source from Fox Sports, they are trying to have Romo become an NFL analyst since John Lynch went on to become the new San Francisco 49ers general manager. With a vacant seat in Fox Sports, where will Romo be going?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
