April 4 (UPI) -- As football rookie Dak Prescott replaced him last season, broadcast rookie Tony Romo will replace CBS' Phil Simms.
League sources told ESPN that Romo left his Dallas Cowboys job and football career to be CBS Sports' No. 1 color commentator. He'll replace Simms and work with fellow analyst Jim Nantz. The Sports Business Journal first reported Romo's "verbal agreement" with CBS.
