Main Story

J.J. Watt has secured a multi-year deal to become CBS’s lead NFL game analyst, continuing alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson. The move makes permanent the role he took on after Tony Romo’s departure from the network.

By the Numbers
  • Watt’s agreement spans multiple years.
  • Romo’s CBS tenure lasted nine years.
  • Romo previously signed a 10-year, $180 million contract with CBS.
Yes, But

Watt’s future with CBS is settled, but Romo’s next broadcasting role is not. Jim Nantz expects Romo will work in the business again, though it’s unclear whether he’ll call games or work in a studio.

Bottom Line

CBS is moving forward with Watt as the face of its top NFL broadcast team, while Romo’s next chapter remains open.
