CBS Considers Replacing Tony Romo After OWI Arrest

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was arrested in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating while intoxicated on July 23 and placed on leave by CBS Sports "until further notice." The network has begun evaluating long‑term replacements for its lead NFL analyst role. Reported candidates include Fox Sports analyst Greg Olsen, whose contract contains a clause allowing him to leave for a No. 1 analyst position, and current CBS fill‑in J.J. Watt, who has already stepped in on an interim basis. CBS is also testing a new broadcast pairing of Jim Nantz with Watt, potentially reshaping the top booth. Romo’s contract carries roughly $72 million for the next four years, and the network could invoke a morals clause to terminate the deal if he is not cleared. The situation remains fluid pending Romo’s court hearing scheduled for September 21.
