CBS analyst Tony Romo expected to remain with network after recent OWI arrest
Tony Romo, arrested on suspicion of operating while intoxicated, is likely to stay at CBS but may keep a low profile in the short term.
CBS football analyst Tony Romo was arrested on suspicion of operating while intoxicated, prompting discussion about his future with the network. Sources familiar with the situation said Romo is expected to remain at CBS, though he may reduce his public appearances for the next few weeks.
"He might step back a little, short term, but he isn’t going anywhere long term," an unnamed source told the Daily Mail.
According to the same source, Romo informed CBS executives of the incident soon after it occurred and has already withdrawn from a scheduled golf tournament and the Texas State Open. The network’s response will depend on the terms of Romo’s contract, which typically allow termination without cause but would require payment of the remaining contract value. No indication has been given that CBS plans to terminate his employment.
