Boomer Esiason questions Tony Romo's CBS future amid ongoing leave

Boomer Esiason expressed doubts about Tony Romo's future with CBS Sports following Romo's leave ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Esiason suggested that Romo's recent OWI arrest may prompt CBS to explore new broadcasting options, potentially sidelining him as J.J. Watt steps in temporarily alongside Jim Nantz. The network faces a dilemma, having several years remaining on Romo's $180 million contract, with $72 million left prior to the NFL season's start in September. Despite his friendship with Nantz, CBS has not yet decided on Romo's permanent replacement as the company weighs its options this summer.
