As was reported earlier this year, Watt replaces Charles Davis in that role.<\/p>\n<p>Now we know Davis will slide into Barber\u2019s former spot alongside play-by-play man Andrew Catalon and analyst Jason McCourty before becoming CBS\u2019s lead college football analyst next season.<\/p>\n<p>The remainder of the NFL on CBS lineup remains the same. Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, and Tracy Wolfson remain the top team. Kevin Harlan, Trent Green, and Melanie Collins continue to work together. And Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta, Aditi Kinkhabwala come back for another year, as do Tom McCarthy and Ross Tucker.<\/p>\n<p>The network\u2019s pregame show,\u00a0The NFL Today, will also look the same, minus Watt, who was a part-time analyst last season. Longtime host James Brown, who <a href=\"https:\/\/awfulannouncing.com\/cbs\/nfl-today-host-james-brown-eyeing-contract-extension.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recently signed a contract extension<\/a> with the network, will return alongside studio analysts Bill Cowher, Nate Burleson, and Matt Ryan. Last season marked the first year the new-look\u00a0studio crew worked together after CBS opted to replace Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms.<\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CBS has officially revealed its NFL broadcast booths for the upcoming season.
