NFL analyst Tony Romo will not return to CBS Sports, after the network and the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback agree to end their relationship. CBS says the split is mutual and it follows an arrest in July in Wisconsin tied to suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Romo had been on leave following the July incident, and multiple outlets report that his departure becomes permanent after the latest agreement. CBS also issued a statement thanking Romo for his contributions over the past nine years. Several reports describe Romo’s position as a lead NFL analyst and highlight the financial terms of his long-term contract, including figures cited by some outlets.
While coverage is broadly consistent on the “mutual agreement” and the cause being the July OWI/DUI arrest, outlets vary in emphasis—some focus on the end of his high-profile role in the booth, while others underscore the contractual and business implications for CBS. The common thread is that Romo’s contract with CBS Sports ends effective as of this announced separation.
