The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... During the three-days of the NFL draft, Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said he expects Romo to become more involved in the offense. Jones even said Romo will spend more time at Valley Ranch, similar to what Denver's Peyton Manning does. Jones stopped short of saying Romo will call some offensive plays, like Manning, but his involvement will increase. Well, Romo's best friend, tight end Jason Witten, seemed a little surprised by the news. "I've always felt like Tony was very involved in the process of the plays and our scheme, how we attacked," Witten said Friday.

Diehards Line:As ESPN.com's Calvin Watkins suggests, it appears Jones is trying to justify why he signed Romo to a six-year $108 million contract last month. Jones and Romo have taken heat for the contract because of just one career playoff win and the Cowboys' inability to reach the postseason the last three seasons. Romo hasn't talked about the new deal, a news conference wasn't scheduled after he signed it, but others have supported the deal, including defensive end DeMarcus Ware and now Witten. "Sometimes maybe more is made of that than it is," Witten said of Romo's increased role. "I know he understands the expectations to play that position, probably even more so now after the contract than ever before. I think that's something he embraces and says, 'Hey, let's get this started.' I think we're all excited. But we all know at this point, our actions will speak a lot louder than anything we say or talk about. ..." We understand the desire to defend Romo -- from an NFL perspective. But from a Fantasy perspective, Romo's numbers speak for themselves. And it sounds like that's not going to change.
