Romo, CBS finalize split with undisclosed payout on $72M contract
Tony Romo and CBS Sports have officially ended their nine-year partnership through a negotiated financial settlement, avoiding litigation over the remaining $72 million of his 10-year, $180 million deal. The split follows Romo’s July arrest for operating while intoxicated in Wisconsin and a prolonged period of declining on-air performance. J.J. Watt will remain as the network’s lead color analyst for the remainder of the 2026 NFL season, while Romo plans to take a break to focus on his health and family.
