Butte Bozeman, MT, October 2, 2026 — CBS Sports and former NFL quarterback Tony Romo have mutually agreed to end their professional relationship. The decision follows Romo’s arrest in Milwaukee, for which he entered a no-contest plea to operating while intoxicated (OWI).
The specifics surrounding the date of Romo’s arrest and the exact terms of the mutual agreement were not immediately available. The circumstances leading to the plea and the timeline for the separation were also not detailed in the information provided.
Tony Romo, who transitioned to broadcasting after a notable career as a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, had been a prominent figure in CBS Sports’ NFL coverage. His departure marks a significant change for the network’s broadcast team.
The legal proceedings in Milwaukee concluded with Romo’s no-contest plea. A no-contest plea, also known as an Alford plea or nolo contendere, is not an admission of guilt but rather an agreement by the defendant that the prosecution has enough evidence to secure a conviction. This plea is typically entered to resolve a criminal case without a trial.
Details regarding any potential penalties, fines, or sentencing associated with the OWI charge were not provided. Similarly, the exact date the separation from CBS Sports became effective was not disclosed.
CBS Sports has not released further statements regarding the departure, and the network has not indicated plans for a replacement in Romo’s former broadcast role. The future professional endeavors for Tony Romo are also not specified at this time.
