CBS places Tony Romo on leave "until further notice"
NBC Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Tony Romo has been placed on leave from his role at CBS Sports following his arrest in Wisconsin for suspicion of operating while intoxicated.
- CBS issued a brief statement confirming Romo's leave but did not specify whether it was initiated by the network or requested by Romo.
- The network has not announced who will replace Romo on its leading NFL broadcast team alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson.
- Romo, the top analyst at CBS since 2017, reportedly earns $18 million annually, and his long-term status depends on his contract and whether the arrest constitutes cause for termination.
