JJ Watt signs a multi-year deal to stay as CBS' lead NFL analyst
JJ Watt will continue to be the analyst on CBS Sports’ lead NFL team after signing a new multi-year agreement with the network. Watt joined play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson after Tony Romo went on leave following his July 23 arrest in Wisconsin. CBS announced on Oct. 2 that Romo would not return after the two sides “agreed to part ways.” Romo had been the lead game analyst for CBS’ NFL coverage since 2017.
Watt joined CBS Sports in 2023 as a studio analyst on “The NFL Today” studio show following a 12-year career with the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals.
