Tony Romo will not be returning to CBS Sports as an NFL game analyst, the network announced on Friday, October 2. This comes after he was arrested in July on charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
“CBS Sports and Tony Romo have mutually agreed to part ways,” the network said in a statement. “We thank Tony for his contributions over the past nine years and wish him the best moving forward.”
Romo was arrested after a traffic stop in Milwaukee on July 23, with court records showing that one of the arresting officers said he detected a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” on Romo’s breath. The former NFL quarterback performed poorly on the field sobriety tests and was taken into custody. He was later released. On Sept. 1, Romo pleaded no contest.
Romo was placed on indefinite leave shortly after the arrest, with J.J. Watt taking over his role on CBS’ No. 1 NFL broadcast team. He still had four years and $72 million remaining on the 10-year, $180 million contract he signed with CBS in 2020, with The Athletic reporting that the two sides reached a financial settlement.
“I’m proud of what I accomplished at CBS Sports over the last nine years. I approached my role as a game analyst the way I’ve approached everything in my life – with a desire to win and be the best that I can be,” Romo, said in a statement released after CBS’ announcement.
“I’m going to use this time to take a break, something I’ve never done before, and focus on my health and my family before moving on to my next opportunity,” he continued. “I am grateful for my time with CBS Sports and for the continued support of my family and friends, as well as the NFL community and fans.”
