Romo was pulled over and arrested after failing a field sobriety test, with an open bottle of alcohol in his car at the time. Body camera footage from the incident was widely circulated. Romo remains indefinitely suspended from his role alongside Jim Nantz in CBS's No. 1 booth. J.J. Watt has stepped into Romo's spot during the suspension. Romo's long-term future at CBS remains uncertain. CBS holds a 10-year, $180 million contract with Romo signed in 2020. Awful Announcing reports that . Awful Announcing reports that Romo's performance in the booth has taken a notable downward turn in recent years and that fan and critical sentiment has largely turned against him. By contrast, J.J.

A Romo spokesperson said, per Awful Announcing: "Tony accepts full responsibility for his actions and has taken proactive steps to ensure that this isolated civil matter is properly resolved. We are working with local authorities to bring this matter to a close and we are communicating with CBS about next steps."
