Where is Tony Romo Now?
After retiring from playing football, Tony Romo was hired by CBS Sports to be the main color commentator for their NFL broadcasts.
He started his career as a backup quarterback but became the Dallas Cowboys' main starter from 2006 to 2015. During that time, he led the team to the playoffs four times and was named to the Pro Bowl each year they made it. Romo retired after the 2016 season because a back injury in preseason caused him to lose his starting job to rookie Dak Prescott.
What Game did Tony Romo Call Today?
Former NFL player Drew Bledsoe took a jab at his Dallas Cowboys successor, Tony Romo, during a segment on ESPN before the NFL games started on Sunday.
Bledsoe, who was on "Sunday NFL Countdown," talked about his experience as an older quarterback. He was replaced by Tom Brady with the New England Patriots and later by Romo with the Cowboys. Bledsoe mentioned that he didn’t agree with Coach Bill Parcells’ decision to replace him with Romo.
Bledsoe said, "Romo, if you’re watching, you know this is true. Once you became the starter, you got pretty full of yourself. You weren’t the curious guy asking questions anymore. Unlike Tom Brady, who kept asking questions even after he became the starter, you thought you had all the answers."

Tony Romo Career
Tony Romo started his NFL career as a backup quarterback but became the Dallas Cowboys' main starter from 2006 to 2015. During that time, he led the team to the playoffs four times and earned Pro Bowl honors each time. He retired after the 2016 season when a back injury in preseason made him lose his starting job to rookie Dak Prescott. After retiring, Romo became the lead NFL analyst for CBS Sports.
Romo set several Cowboys records, including most passing touchdowns, passing yards, games with at least 300 passing yards, and games with three or more touchdown passes. From 2006 to 2013, he had a higher passer rating in the fourth quarter than any other NFL quarterback. However, he didn’t do as well in the playoffs, winning only two of six games and never getting past the divisional round. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
