(Sports Xchange) Tony Romo plans to pursue a career in broadcasting even if the Dallas Cowboys release him as expected. ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who is represented by the same agent who represents Romo, broke the story Tuesday, April 4. Sports Business Journal connected Romo to CBS as a replacement for the network’s top NFL broadcast analyst, Phil Simms. Romo played only for the Cowboys in his 14-year career.
Update…
Romo will join Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on CBS’ top broadcast team. Romo replaces Phil Simms, whose new role has yet to be determined.
Romo tweeted out a photo showing him wearing a CBS blazer and said, “I guess it’s time to start dressing up. #CBS”
He said he always felt he would be a television analyst upon retiring.
