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

[Kwyn]

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 see what you did there

 

[Reality]

The moment I read "mutually agreed" I assumed he got a really good buyout amount.

Has Nance had the ballz to make any kind of comment regarding the 9 years he worked with Romo?! I guess I missed it, so typical.

Tony Romo isn’t walking away empty-handed.

The now-former CBS Sports NFL commentator is expected to “probably be a paid a good portion” of the $72 million remaining on his contract, according to The Athletic.

The sides reportedly agreed to financial terms Friday before news broke of of their split with four years and $72 million remaining on Romo’s 10-year, $180 million deal.

Thats crazy. They are paying him a ton of money to not work? I don't understand it. I did read a conspiracy theory on it though. It said he was calling plays in advance which caused the casinos a headache.

I had not seen that but it's a plausible Theory with all these instant prop bets and everything that people can do these days

I said earlier that with $72m left on his contract im sure his lawyers negotiated at least a $40m walk away price tag.

CBS doesn’t have a cause to fire.

Romo isn’t a criminal.

His lawyers did an excellent job.

He wanted out.

CBS did not have his back.

No support.

Who would want to work for them?

Take the $$$ and walk.

It just illustrates how they have used this opportunity to get rid of him. And wanted it bad enough to pay off his contract in full.

Cha-ching.

So it’s “hating” because he was fired for drinking and driving? No accountability whatsoever huh?

 

[Diehardblues]

I can’t tell you how many fans, Cowboys fans as well, who simply didn’t like Romo’s style of color commentator.

No one is crying for Romo. The man is so financial set for 100 years. And going to get paid millions for driving and driving. What a country.
