Tony Romo is leaving CBS Sports after nine years with the network, following his recent arrest and no-contest plea to an operating-while-intoxicated charge in Wisconsin.

CBS Sports and Romo mutually agreed to end their relationship Friday, bringing an end to the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback’s tenure as the network’s lead NFL game analyst.

“CBS Sports and Tony Romo have mutually agreed to part ways,” the network said in a statement. “We thank Tony for his contributions over the past nine years and wish him the best moving forward.”

Romo had been away from CBS since his July 23 arrest in Wisconsin. During his absence, former NFL star J.J. Watt joined play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on CBS’ top NFL broadcast team.

Watt will remain in that role following Romo’s departure, while the network said its other NFL broadcast teams will remain unchanged.

Romo, 46, said he was proud of his nine years with CBS but plans to step away from work to focus on his health and family.

“I’m going to use this time to take a break, something I’ve never done before, and focus on my health and my family before moving on to my next opportunity,” Romo said.

The split comes shortly after Romo pleaded no contest on Sept. 1 to a charge of operating while intoxicated stemming from his Wisconsin arrest. According to Milwaukee County court records, he lost his driving privileges for six months and was ordered to complete an alcohol assessment program.

Following the plea, Romo publicly addressed the circumstances surrounding his arrest and acknowledged responsibility for his actions.

“The past month has been difficult, but it has also been personally significant,” Romo said. “It has required me to confront and own my mistakes fully — to the Lord, to myself, to my family and now to the public.”

Romo also disclosed that multiple back surgeries during his playing career left him dealing with chronic pain. He said his struggles with pain medication and attempts to stop using it contributed to an over-reliance on alcohol.

“None of this is an excuse,” Romo said. “These are my failures and I take responsibility for them.”

Romo said he is working with a team of doctors to address his health and make changes moving forward.

Before becoming one of the most prominent NFL broadcasters in the country, Romo spent his entire 2004-16 playing career with the Cowboys. He earned four Pro Bowl selections and quickly became one of CBS’ most recognizable football analysts after joining the network in 2017.

His departure now leaves Watt alongside Nantz and Wolfson on CBS Sports’ lead NFL broadcast team as the network moves forward without the longtime voice of its No. 1 booth.
