Tony Romo Parts Ways With CBS Following OWI Arrest

Tony Romo and CBS have mutually agreed to end their professional relationship, a decision that follows Romo's indefinite leave from the network after a July arrest in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating while intoxicated (OWI).

Romo stated that he will take time to focus on his health and family. "I’m proud of what I accomplished at CBS Sports over the last nine years," a representative for Romo said. "I approached my role as a game analyst the way I’ve approached everything in my life – with a desire to win and be the best that I can be.

"I’m going to use this time to take a break, something I’ve never done before, and focus on my health and my family before moving on to my next opportunity. I am grateful for my time with CBS Sports and for the continued support of my family and friends, as well as the NFL community and fans."

CBS confirmed the departure in a statement. "We thank Tony for his contributions over the past nine years and wish him the best moving forward," the network stated. "JJ Watt will continue to partner with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson on our lead NFL announce team for the rest of the season. All other teams remain the same, including Ian Eagle, Ross Tucker and Evan Washburn."

Romo was placed on leave by CBS after video footage of his field sobriety test became public following his arrest. J.J. Watt had taken over Romo's analyst role alongside Jim Nantz in the network's top NFL booth.
