Tony Romo could receive a substantial portion of the approximately $72 million (£54.4 million) remaining on his CBS contract under a financial settlement reported by The Athletic's Andrew Marchand. The settlement amount has not been disclosed, and CBS has not publicly confirmed the payment terms.

CBS announced on Friday, 2 October 2026, that the network and Romo had 'mutually agreed to part ways', ending his nine-year tenure as its lead NFL analyst. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback had been on leave following his July arrest in Wisconsin for operating while intoxicated.
