Tony Romo's loss has been J.J. Watt's gain at CBS – and now it's permanent.

Watt on Thursday was named lead analyst for the NFL on CBS in a new multi-year contract agreement. The announcement was made by David Berson, Chairman of Skydance's Global Sports Group.

Watt will continue to call the network’s top NFL games alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson as CBS Sports’ lead NFL announce team, including during the 2027 season when they call Super Bowl LXII in Atlanta.

TONY ROMO AND CBS PART WAYS BUT HISTORY SUGGESTS ANALYST WILL BE BACK ELSEWHERE

"I’ve had a front-row seat to J.J.’s growth as a top-tier broadcaster, watching him tackle this role just like he did his Hall-of-Fame playing career," Berson said in a release by the network. "He’s insightful, entertaining, passionate, meticulous in his preparation, and the ultimate teammate. He has a unique ability to see things and communicate to fans of all levels. We are thrilled to have him leading our NFL coverage."

Watt didn't start the 2026 NFL season in his current role. That belonged to Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

NFL ANALYST TONY ROMO PLACED ON LEAVE BY CBS SPORTS FOLLOWING DRUNK DRIVING ARREST IN WISCONSIN

But Romo ran afoul of his assignment when he was arrested on July 23, after a traffic stop on southbound Interstate 43 near downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He later pleaded no contest to a first-offense OWI, with the sentence including a six-month revocation of his driving privileges and an alcohol-assessment requirement.

CBS said on July 31 that Romo was on leave "until further notice," but then the network announced on Oct. 2 that it had "mutually agreed to part ways" with its long-time lead analyst.

WITH TONY ROMO OUT AT CBS, TROY AIKMAN AND GREG OLSEN SUDDENLY BECOME LOGICAL REPLACEMENTS

Watt, meanwhile, was the next man up. He has served as the network's lead analyst since the start of the season and that now becomes a permanent role after what was obviously a successful trial period.

The network chose the man in the seat over other possible permanent replacements for Romo, Greg Olsen and others among them.

"I am incredibly honored and grateful to have the opportunity to represent CBS Sports and all of the fantastic people who make this place so special," Watt said in a statement. "From the brotherhood of The NFL Today to my crews calling games, I couldn’t ask for better teammates alongside me on this television journey.

"I am thankful to David Berson for his leadership, vision and trust. I love this job and can’t wait to see ya Sunday with Jim and Tracy and many more Sundays to come!"

Watt joined CBS Sports in 2023 as a studio analyst on The NFL Today. Last season, Watt moved to the booth to call games with Ian Eagle and Evan Washburn.

Watt was a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and was honored as the 2017 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year.

O ator Chris Pratt, 47, deu novidades sobre o futuro de Peter Quill, conhecido como Senhor das Estrelas ou Star-Lord, no Universo Cinematográfico da Marvel (MCU).

Em entrevista ao podcast “The Bingeworthy”, durante a divulgação da segunda temporada de “The Terminal List”, o ator afirmou que já conversa com os executivos do estúdio sobre o retorno do personagem.

“Tenho um ótimo relacionamento com Kevin [Feige] e Lou [D’Esposito], e temos tido conversas constantes sobre como cumprir essa promessa, além de ações concretas para garantir que a cumpramos”, disse Pratt no programa.

O ator confirmou que o herói voltará a aparecer, mas não revelou quando isso acontecerá. “Então, sim, vocês verão o Senhor das Estrelas novamente, o que é muito emocionante. Mas não posso dizer quando isso vai acontecer, mas ele não vai a lugar nenhum”, afirmou.

O retorno do personagem é aguardado desde o final de “Guardiões da Galáxia Vol. 3”, lançado em 2023. Na cena que encerra o filme, Peter Quill retorna à Terra e reencontra o avô. Depois, uma mensagem na tela anuncia: “O lendário Senhor das Estrelas retornará”.

Apesar da promessa, a Marvel ainda não anunciou oficialmente em qual produção o herói voltará. Há especulações de que ele possa aparecer em “Vingadores: Guerras Secretas”, previsto para dezembro de 2027, mas a participação de Pratt não foi confirmada.

"It's an incredible blessing to be a father. It's also a lot of hard work. And so I think I just want to teach them that ... I don't know, I want to do my best. I basically want to get right everything my dad got right and get right everything my dad got wrong. And I'm sure I'll screw up both, you know?" Pratt continued.

Wu told Fox News Digital that she's "never felt safer" on a television set before, due to all the veterans involved in the production.

"Yeah, you probably weren't," Pratt said. "We have 17 veterans on this in front of the camera, behind the camera. Writers, directors, tech advisors, safety coordinators, stuntmen, actors. So it was awesome."

Wu explained that in season 2, her character Katie cares more personally for Pratt's character, Reece.

"I think for Katie, I think she cares more personally for Reece, whereas before she cared a lot about the truth and the story, but she also cares for him as a person a little more, which I think changes a lot of things," Wu said.
