Jim Nantz opens up on Tony Romo's departure from CBS: 'I look forward to Tony coming through this'
Jim Nantz believes there's no question Tony Romo will work again.
Tony Romo's departure from CBS as an analyst was officially announced on October 2 after a July arrest for OWI. CBS and Romo parted ways, with Romo being paired with Jim Nantz in the booth. Nantz, speaking on "The Traina Thoughts Podcast," expressed his concern for Romo, stating he felt good about the analyst. Nantz also highlighted the strong support system Romo has at home.
He was optimistic about Romo coming through this situation, adding, "Unquestionably" that the former quarterback will find another role in broadcasting. Nantz did not disclose whether Romo would return to game calling or take an in-studio role. However, he praised J.J. Watt, their new partner, for his preparation for each game. Romo, who had a 13-year playing career, retired in 2016 and began his broadcasting career with CBS, working alongside Nantz until this summer when he was placed on leave following his arrest.
