Dallas Mavericks to honor Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo by making him a "Maverick for a day"

The Dallas Mavericks plan to sign Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo for their final game of the regular season against the Denver Nuggets.

Per ESPN, The Dallas Mavericks plan to honor Tony Romo at their home finale Tuesday night by making the longtime Dallas Cowboys quarterback "a Maverick for a day," ESPN has learned.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks intend to have Romo on the bench and in uniform for their final regular-season home date against the Denver Nuggets as a means of paying tribute to the longtime former Cowboy.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has said on multiple occasions over the past week that the club would be looking to add "a pass-first point guard" before playing out the season's final five days.

People within the organization, sources tell ESPN, say he has been referring to Romo.

Romo, who turns 37 later this month, announced earlier this week that he is moving to the television booth with CBS after 14 seasons with the Cowboys.
