Romo’s CBS Future Hinges on $72M Contract Buyout Amid Plea Deal Fallout
Tony Romo is unlikely to return to CBS Sports, with insiders estimating a 95% probability of his departure. While he recently pleaded no contest to an OWI charge in Wisconsin, the primary obstacle to a clean split is his remaining $72 million contract. CBS is likely negotiating a buyout to avoid a public fight, while Romo’s recent public statements suggest he is positioning for a return despite the network’s brand concerns.
