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

Tony Romo’s broadcasting career on CBS followed a dramatic trajectory. When he debuted in 2017, he was praised for his ability to predict plays before the snap and break down complex X's-and-O's in real time. However, over the following years, criticism mounted from fans, media critics, and reportedly even network executives.

And that was my major criticism is from a color commentary I wasn't interested in predicting upcoming play. I wanted a color guy to comment on the play after the fact.

I never really understood the interest in him trying to read defenses before the snap. And his chatter continuing on thru the next play was annoying .
