Terry Bradshaw still collecting a large paycheck, long after his days with the Pittsburgh Steelers
It’s been over 40 years since Terry Bradshaw last played in the NFL, yet he is still being paid handsomely. However, it’s not because of the National Football League, but because of FOX Sports. Bradshaw has been on analyst and commentator on TV for three decadesIcon Sportswire Bradshaw has been with FOX since 1994 (and CBS before that), as an analyst and co-host of the popular Fox NFL Sunday show that has captured the hearts of America over the course of the last three decades. It has long been a revolving door of cast and characters, but one of the staples, Bradshaw, has remained the same. And he is being paid handsomely for it. While not disclosed publicly, sources estimate Bradshaw’s deal with FOX to be in the annual range of $2 million. His total net worth is approximately estimated at $45 million, according to Sportskeeda. Bradshaw of course played 14 years in the National Football League for the Pittsburgh Steelers and led one of the greatest dynasties in all of sports. The franchise quarterback helped Pittsburgh win four Super Bowls in six years, from 1974-1979, while also collecting MVP honors in 1978. Bradshaw, with the help of the vaunted Steel Curtain, dominated the 1970’s. He became one of the most iconic and polarizing figures the sport had ever seen. His brash personality made him a star quarterback, but arguably an even bigger star with a microphone and camera in front of him. Bradshaw won back-to-back Super Bowls on two separate occasions, the only quarterback ever to doGetty It’s no accident that Bradshaw has remained on TV for over three decades. His personality was made for it. If FOX didn’t think so, they wouldn’t have kept him around for so long at the salary he has. But he has been worth every penny to the multibillion dollar media company. It’s hard to last as long on TV as Bradshaw has, but he was made for it. It was evident during his playing days, and it’s been evident everyday since. Bradshaw has been on television for three decadesGetty Images - Getty The irony of it all, is that Bradshaw is making significantly more now, than he ever did as a Super Bowl winning quarterback. He never made more than $450,000 in a single year in his playing career. Fast forward to today, and quarterbacks are about to be getting paid $60 million annually. Oh how the times have changed. What hasn’t changed though, in nearly four decades, is where you can find Bradshaw every Sunday. And that’s warming the hearts of NFL fans everywhere, for a small price of $2 million.
