Romo, Witten to Organize Cowboys Workouts


Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and tight end Jason Witten will organize group workouts next month, backup quarterback Stephen McGee told Terrence Hunley of the Amarillo Globe-News.

"We are going to start working out as a team around April," McGee said on Monday from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes banquet in Amarillo. "We are going to find a way to get work in. The off-season work is always very important even if it’s just doing light 7-on-7s to get refreshed."

A potential hiccup to the 7-on-7 plan is that the Cowboys running back Marion Barber, fullback Chris Gronkowski, wide receiver Kevin Ogltree, and cornerback Mike Jenkins are represented by Drew Rosenhaus, who is advising his clients to avoid football-related workouts.

Other agents are likely providing similar advice to their clients, who aren't protected against injury right now.

"The playbooks are really thick in the NFL. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done," said McGee. "In our case Witten and Romo are going to take charge of that. When Witten and Romo get on the phone and need a place to work out it tends to happen. There’s going to be an NFL season, there’s gotta be."
