Tony Romo has quickly become one of the most-popular NFL analysts in the business, and the former Dallas Cowboys QB was about to become a hot ticket in free agency.
However, now it appears he’ll avoid hitting the open market, as Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reports that Romo has re-signed with CBS.
Per Marchand, Romo will make $17 million per year as the highest paid NFL analyst ever:

And, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal could be up to 10 years for Romo:
CBS is giving Tony Romo a firm three-year deal to remain at the network, but it could grow to a 10-year deal, per sources. If the NFL extends its rights deal with CBS, Romo’s deal extends by seven additional years, even if the new rights deal is for a term shorter than seven.

Marchand wrote that this annual salary was more than Romo made in all but 3 of his NFL seasons:
During his playing career, Romo earned a total of $127 million over 14 seasons. There were only three seasons as the Cowboys’ quarterback that he made more than $17 million.
It’s good to be Tony Romo these days!
