Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly backs former quarterback Tony Romo after Romo’s recent OWI arrest in Wisconsin. Multiple outlets report that Jones addresses concerns about how the incident may affect Romo’s role with CBS Sports, where he is expected to appear as part of the network’s NFL coverage. While CBS reportedly considers how to respond following the arrest, Jones presents Romo as someone who can handle the situation and move forward.
The New York Post, Fox News, and Yahoo Sports all describe Jones saying Romo can “work through” the OWI case, framing the response as a matter of character and resilience. Yahoo Sports adds that Jones specifically “stumps” for Romo’s character in public as the arrest threatens Romo’s standing with CBS. Across reports, the common thread is that Jones offers his support despite uncertainty around CBS’s next steps. The coverage does not present details on any formal employment decision by CBS, focusing instead on Jones’s comments and his confidence in Romo’s ability to respond to the adversity.
