Tony Romo’s future at CBS is now in doubt, and any permanent could open the door for a four-time MVP. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback has served as the network’s lead NFL analyst since 2017, and shared the booth alongside Jim Nantz. Romo has been placed on leave by CBS Sports and could be replaced in future Getty His first few seasons were warmly received by fans, but public opinion has turned against Romo in more recent years. Some fans had been calling for him to be replaced long before he was arrested last month on suspicion of operating while intoxicated (OWI). Following that incident, those calling for Romo’s departure could get their wish. CBS has put the former NFL star on indefinite leave, and J.J. Watt will step into his role as the No. 1 analyst on a temporary basis. But there has already been plenty of speculation around who could take the job on a permanent basis, should the network wish to move on from Romo and the 10-year, $180 million contract he signed in 2020.
