Tony Romo’s run as CBS Sports’ lead NFL analyst has come to an end after the network placed him on indefinite leave following his OWI arrest in Wisconsin this summer.
Jones spoke positively about Romo’s future, insisting that the former NFL star still has plenty ahead of him and is “just getting started. “He’s just getting started. “I say that with all sincerity. And he certainly has had some — made some mistakes… But he realizes that there’s an area of his life that he wants to do better in. NFL insider Mike Florio recently suggested that Dallas could consider bringing its former quarterback back in a front-office role. Such an opportunity would give Romo a chance to remain connected to the franchise in an executive capacity rather than returning to the field.
Romo joined CBS Sports in 2017 and quickly became one of the network’s most prominent NFL voices. His success eventually led to a reported 10-year, $180 million extension.
He really is,” Jones said.
