The network announced Friday that it and the former Cowboys quarterback had mutually agreed to part ways after nine years. JJ Watt will remain alongside Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on CBS' lead NFL broadcast team for the rest of the season.
"We thank Tony for his contributions over the past nine years and wish him the best moving forward," CBS Sports said in a statement.
The announcement follows Romo's July 23 arrest during a traffic stop in Milwaukee. He was charged with operating while intoxicated and pleaded no contest Sept. 1, according to CBS Sports.
The network placed him on leave July 31.
Romo joined CBS in 2017 after spending his entire 13-year NFL playing career with Dallas, earning four Pro Bowl selections. He worked with Nantz throughout his time at the network.
His next move remains undecided. In a statement shared by Puck's Dylan Byers, Romo said he intends to step away from work and focus on his family and health.
"I'm proud of what I accomplished at CBS Sports over the last nine years," Romo said.
"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."
Watt joined CBS in 2023, spending two seasons on "The NFL Today" before moving into game broadcasts alongside Ian Eagle last year.
CBS said its other announcing teams will remain unchanged, including Eagle, Ross Tucker and Evan Washburn.
