Retired NFL star Tony Romo has reportedly agreed to a deal with CBS Friday that will pay him an estimated $17 million a season as an NFL analyst, making the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback the highest-paid NFL analyst in TV history.

Andrew Marchand, a New York Post sports columnist, tweeted about the deal in a post that has gone viral.

Yahoo Sports reports the deal ends speculation that Romo would leave CBS for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.” The two networks were reportedly engaged in a bidding war for his services.
