Marc Colombo to retire a Cowboy


    Colombo signed a ceremonial one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys on Friday to make sure that his NFL career would came to a close with the team in which he had the most success with. The move will be official come Monday.
    In 2005, the Cowboys took a major chance on Colombo, who was a first-round pick by Chicago in 2002 after the Bears released him in part because of a serious knee injury he sustained. However, the gamble paid off in 2006 and he started every game (72) in which he was healthy. He missed seven games in 2009 with an ankle injury and one game in 2010 with a knee injury.
    The Cowboys released Colombo after the lockout ended in 2011 to give the starting job to Tyron Smith. Colombo, 33, signed with Miami and played every snap for the Dolphins last season.
