Tony Romo Reportedly Wants $10M a Year to Stay with CBS Sports as NFL Analyst
Tony Romo's critically acclaimed first season as a color analyst for CBS' NFL coverage has significantly raised his price tag. 
Per Michael McCarthy of Sporting News, Romo's camp is seeking a new contract extension that would pay the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback at least $10 million per year to remain at CBS after the 2019 season. 
That salary would make Romo the highest-paid television analyst in sports history, with McCarthy noting Troy Aikman makes $7.5 million from Fox and Jon Gruden used to earn $6.5 million from ESPN for Monday Night Football.

I want his $$$.
Actually he's worth every bit of it. IF he keep Gruden out of the box. I'm afraid that kind of money will only encourage Chucky to re-retire and cash in.

Since Romo couldn't come close to matching or surpassing Aikman's playoff record, he wants to make sure he's above and beyond Aikman's salary?  Wow, 10 mil for a seasonal part-time gig?

10 million a year?  A bit much for a job that could be summed up by... "Did you see that?...  So did I."

I agree with those types of commentating, not worth 10 mill.

If babbling Troy gets 7.5.
Tony IMO does a way better job.
