FRISCO - Tony Romo Knows Drama. Tony Romo Knows Timing. So it should surprise no one that word has leaks that Tony Romo would like a raise to $10 million a year to continue working as a TV analyst for CBS Sports.

“I feel this (in the booth for CBS) is exactly where I should be,” Romo told the media during a pre-Super Bowl preview in January.

But now, according to Sporting News, Romo’s representatives are looking for a contract extension paying him “eight figures” annually to remain "where he should be'' -- a substantial raise from his present salary of $4 million.

Tony’s probably giving CBS a break at $10mil — especially if they can lock him up long-term.

If he went on the open market, he might get more.

Meanwhile, if Romo gets his $10mil, you gotta wonder what kinda salary Peyton Manning might command if/when he puts his services as an announcer up for bids?

CBS will pay him, but probably negotiate it down to $8-$9 million. People say announcers don't matter, and people will watch regardless. That is true, but there were games I tuned into the last two years specifically because I wanted to hear Romo. I know I'm not the only one.

Probably less, atleast initially
He will get more than romo got starting out but he’s gonna have to perform and get a second contract to get what romo is gonna get
