CBS Sports has ended its partnership with Tony Romo following his DUI arrest in July. The network announced they have mutually agreed to part ways after Romo’s no-contest plea for the offense, which resulted in a six-month driving ban and other penalties. Romo acknowledged taking time off to focus on health and family before considering future opportunities, while CBS has already brought in JJ Watt as his replacement for this season.

Story summary
Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, has ended his nine-year run as an NFL analyst for CBS Sports after being arrested in July on suspicion of operating while intoxicated (OWI) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. CBS placed Romo on indefinite leave following the arrest and legal proceedings. He had four years remaining on a 10-year, $180 million contract but will now receive a significant portion of the $72 million left on it. Romo cited health concerns and family focus for his decision to step away from broadcasting temporarily. JJ Watt has taken over as part of CBS's top announcing team alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson, replacing Romo during the rest of this season.
