What happened: CBS elevated J.J. Watt to join Jim Nantz in its No. 1 NFL booth after Tony Romo was arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. His Sept. 21 court date falls between two early-season showcase assignments.
Why it matters: CBS must determine whether to restore its lead analyst before Packers-Vikings on Sept. 13 and Cowboys-Ravens in Brazil on Sept. 27. A morals clause adds another consideration to the network's decision over the remaining term.
By the numbers: Romo signed a 10-year, $180 million contract in 2020. The remaining $72 million over four years averages $18 million per year.
What to watch: CBS's NFL media seminar in less than two weeks is the next checkpoint before the regular season begins.
