Mutual agreement ends analyst contract

The network and the former quarterback mutually agreed to part ways after he was placed on leave. CBS stated they thank Romo for his nine years of contributions before wishing him well. J.J. Watt will continue serving as the lead analyst in Romo's place.

Legal outcome and penalties

Romo pleaded no contest to charges involving operating a vehicle while intoxicated on July 23. He received a six-month revocation of driving privileges and was ordered to install an ignition interlock device. The court also required him to complete an alcohol assessment program and pay a fine.
