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

[xwalker]

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.

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

 

[Diehardblues]

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

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.

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?
