Tony Romo and CBS part ways, but settlement could bring big payday

Tony Romo and CBS Sports have parted ways after nine seasons, with reports suggesting a financial settlement could still net him a significant portion of his remaining $72 million contract. Romo signed a 10-year, $180 million deal in 2020, and entered 2026 with about four years left. CBS could have invoked a morals clause after his July arrest for operating while intoxicated, but avoided a costly legal battle by settling, according to NBC Sports. Romo, who cited personal health issues in September, plans to focus on family and recovery before his next media move. J.J. Watt has taken over as CBS’s lead NFL analyst.
