But that’s not what Wilson said in a Friday interview with Cowboys HQ.

MORE: Cowboys won’t honor Romo till he retires

Wilson talked in depth about Dallas’ quarterback situation — including if former Cowboys QB Tony Romo could make a return to the NFL. That question prompted Wilson to say it was “fun to speculate” whether Prescott going down would open the door for Romo to return to the Cowboys.

That’s probably not what Wilson needed to say, considering the Cowboys just got finished with a seasonlong quarterback controversy that ended with Romo’s exit from Dallas for a foray into TV.

On closer inspection, this is just a coach talking up a former quarterback with whom he worked for 10 years. Still, he should definitely choose his words more carefully — or else someone will think he’s actually curious to see how Dallas would handle Prescott getting injured.
