Jerry Jones has said the Dallas Cowboys should start looking for a future quarterback, but he doesn't expect Tony Romo to be retiring any time soon.
"We're a few years off with Tony Romo in my mind," Jones told KNWA-TV. "I look at him and I see five years and maybe more, and he's right at the apex of when he can be the most effective. But it is time [to look for another quarterback], give us an opportunity."
Jones got lucky when he took over the Cowboys by getting Troy Aikman No. 1 overall in 1989, but he believes he can find a gem late in the draft.
"I'm such a great expert at developing quarterbacks, because the very first day I walked into the NFL, the very first pick that was there was Troy Aikman," Jones said. "We had a Cinderella story with a free agent, much less drafting one, with Tony Romo. So those guys do show up down at the bottom of the draft, or they show up out in free agency. That would be my dream. Now that's rare when that can happen."
