Romo walking away from CBS will probably be a paid a good portion of the $72M remaining

[shabazz]

That’s like a payoff teams pay to fire a HC. 4 years remaining at 18mil = 72 million

Or 8 years of 9 million a year

Or

16 years of 4.5 million a year

Or

32 years of 2.25 million a year

Or

And now he’ll take a year off and then come back and double dip on his money.

If CBS is basically paying the full amount owed, then they probably required a non-compete agreement.

i.e. They are paying him for 4 years to not work.

 

[Diehardblues]

Hes got a non-compete clause that stops him from working for a legitimate sports media company.......which opens up the door for a job at ESPN

I wouldnt be surprised after some time off he could get position at NFL Network. If they’d hire Irvin, they’d hire Romo. Lol

For some reason I don’t think we have very many well off fans on this site.

Maybe , maybe not. Something tells me they aren’t too worried about another major network hiring him

The rumor is he was a smart *** to the CBS execs ....... and did not take their input seriously.

...from undrafted player to Dallas QB and prominent sports announcer.

Not to shabby. $72 mill is more than many would make in plenty of lifetimes.

...not to shabby.

Perception in the media and entertainment world is often difficult for everyone to measure .

And what’s the perception here? Because most agree the video didn’t look bad. And we’ve seen far worse not result in firing.

 

[StarMan2112]

Poor guy. I hope he doesn’t end up homeless.

 

[exciter]

If you had 72 coming?

I "ain't" never been that talented!

NFL network is now espn.

Luckiest guy in the world

I’d say we’d need to be looking thru the CBS lens . Perhaps something we all can’t clearly see.

I think this incident just provided CBS a means to get rid of him.

Must be nice to get paid millions of dollars when you get fired. I've been working in the wrong places.

I think this was a last straw firing honestly. It typically always is.

If CBS was willing to throw out 72 million there’s probably much more we aren’t aware of or privy to.

For sure. I think it's probably better that they're not airing their dirty laundry. Maybe Romo slept with the network president's wife or something. J/K

Nice chunk of pocket money for Romo. If i was him i would just take it easy now, enjoy my family and play some golf, lots of golf. Life of a 46 yr old multimillionaire. Not bad for a FA from Eastern Illinois.

And Tony, have you heard of Uber?

Will Uber hire him with a DUI on his record?

Now that I can believe a lot more then the slander that he was unprepared
I can see Tony telling suits that have never played the game to stick it where the sun does not shine
and being suits, they have huge egos and anyone not kissing their feet they want to get rid of

The non compete thing might have been what was really being negotiated
