CBS Silent on Romo's Return Statement

Former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo issued a statement accepting responsibility for OWI charges and expressing his intention to return to CBS, but the network has declined to comment.

According to John Ourand of Puck, CBS has remained silent following Romo's statement, which wasn't coordinated with the network. This silence suggests growing distance between Romo and CBS, which previously placed him on leave "until further notice" after his legal issues emerged.

The situation complicates Romo's contract situation, with four years and $72 million remaining. CBS appears to be moving forward with J.J. Watt promoted to the top broadcast position, with indications he'll have a chance to keep the role beyond 2026. It remains exceedingly unlikely Romo will return to CBS, despite his expressed desire to do so. zeppelin.cool
