Tony Romo’s nine-year run as CBS Sports’lead NFL analyst has officially come to an end. Page Six confirmed Friday that the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback is leaving the network following his July OWI arrest. His representative released a statement announcing the departure, and Romo made it clear he’s stepping back to regroup.
In the statement, Romo said he’s going to take a break, something he’s never done before, and focus on his health and family. He also expressed gratitude for his time at CBS and thanked his family, friends, the NFL community, and fans for their continued support. Romo described his analyst role as being driven by a desire to win and be his best, which explains why he held one of the biggest jobs in sports broadcasting for nearly a decade.
The story is still developing, and the big question now is who CBS will tap to fill one of the most visible seats in football coverage. Romo’s exit also reignites the conversation about accountability, second chances, and how quickly the sports media world moves on. Where do you stand: should Romo get another shot in the booth down the road, or is this a clean break?
