Sounds unrealistic. Is it Monopoly money? Seriously just think about it. Yes Romo is cool and a great QB but c’mon. That’s stupid money.. How much do the other legends make? 1.5 to 3 million per? It just seems excessive...

I think Romo actually attracts viewers, whereas nearly all the other commentators are mostly tolerated.

 

[Runwildboys]

Pleasantly surprised there are none

Yet

 

[Runwildboys]

Ya so when their contracts come due they will all be thanking Romo for setting the bar higher. Every announcer in football just got a raise thanks to this deal

It's like Tiger and the PGA.................Okay, maybe not even close to the same thing.

No doubt but still excessive...

 

[RoboQB]

Ha!
I remember when people were outraged that he asked for $10 million.
They gave him $17 million... lol

Brady and Brees will be just as good broadcasters as Romo once they retire. So Fox and ESPN need to be ready to dish out that money.

I don't think either of them have the personality.

Who knew Romo did? I think Brady and Brees are every bit as personable as Romo.

Brees maybe. People like him. Brady has the personality of a cigar store Indian.

Who is to say what is excessive? He is worth whatever someone is willing to pay him. That's how capitalism works.

Hey, my Grandpa was a cigar store Indian and a very cool dude.

I'm glad his new career is going well. Some people on FB were complaining that he's making more as a sportscaster than some players make, but they're just whiners. The NFL doesn't pay Romo in his new career. CBS does. They've decided to pay him this amount of money for his announcing skills, so the market has spoken. He's very, very good at his job, and I've been known to be critical of announcers that I think aren't very good. It's not a job just anyone can do.

So, congrats to Tony Romo.

The all time best cigar store Indian was Tecumseh from Cheers. He was great in that episode when Gary “stole” him.

Assuming he’s actually collecting that amount yes of course...

Tony has a propensity to get lazy. I hope he continues to work on his new career because he is really good at it.

Worst comment ever. Completely devoid of any facts. Post that crap on Facebook.

meh

Double meh. Very nerving w/that drab voice of his. Can't tolerate him in all those commercials let alone an NFL commentator.

From a players point of view....

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is the latest player to speak out against the NFL’s collective bargaining proposal. Thomas didn’t have to go in depth when making his point, either. All he had to do was mention Tony Romo’s new contract with CBS.

Thomas, 26, argued NFL players shouldn’t agree to the new collective bargaining proposal when an NFL announcer can make more than “90% of the players.”
