Four-time Super Bowl winner and familiar face to NFL fans Terry Bradshaw has been a Fox Sports analyst for 30 years after retiring from his football career.

The 76-year-old recently caused concern among fans after making several mistakes on live TV. He was discussing Nick Chubb’s return for the Cleveland Browns during footage of the Buffalo Bills-Tennessee Titans game when he suddenly switched back to talking about Chubb as Deshaun Watson was shown suffering an Achilles injury.

Bradshaw spent his entire football career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he is most recognized by the current generation of fans for his three-decade tenure with Fox NFL on Sunday, and outside of the NFL, Bradshaw has shared stories about his time at the family ranch and spoken candidly about his health.

Fox Salary

During his playing days, Bradshaw was the second-highest-paid quarterback of all time when the Steelers rewarded him with a $470000 contract in 1981. Since retiring from football, Bradshaw has earned substantial amounts of money, with Celebrity Net Worth estimating the analyst’s worth at $45 million, reports the Irish Star.

Terry Bradshaw’s earnings are a hot topic, though his Fox salary remains hush-hush. It’s whispered that the sports icon and “Fox NFL Sunday” co-host bags about $2 million a year (£1.54m). Not putting all his eggs in one basket, Bradshaw has also made waves on TV shows, movies, and ad spots while showcasing his musical chops with several country albums.

Health Update

When it comes to personal battles, Bradshaw doesn’t keep his cards close to his chest. He’s been refreshingly candid about duking it out with anxiety and depression, revealing he was tagged with clinical depression back in the ’90s. Bradshaw also shared that he had been treated for cancer after viewers showed concern for his health.

“I am cancer-free. This is my second or third year free,” Bradshaw said in June. “I got through with one treatment, so thank God I am blessed enough to be cancer-free. I still get preventative treatments for bladder cancer, and for Merkel cell there is no preventative treatment.”

Since going public with his mental health struggles, the NFL titan has stood tall as an advocate, frequently touting the virtues of professional help and urging others to not sit on the sidelines.

“Twenty-seven years ago, I was diagnosed as clinically depressed and told the world on TV,” Bradshaw said to Men’s Journal in 2022. “But that journey didn’t happen overnight. It took months of counseling. I went from a preacher to a psychologist to a psychiatrist.”

“I sought help because I was so unhappy, and I couldn’t understand why. It didn’t make sense. Great moments in my life were followed by horrible, horrible ones. People tend to say, ‘It’s so courageous to reveal you’ve got depression.’ But it’s not an act of valor.

“I’m not overcoming any shame to talk about it. I’m proud of it. To think that coming out with [depression] is a sign of weakness is wrong. It has to be represented as an illness, period. I want nothing from it other than to help people.”

Selling family ranch

The NFL legend and his spouse, Tammy, put their heart and soul into developing the renowned Quarter Horses Ranch in Thackerville, Oklahoma, featured on their reality TV series The Bradshaw Bunch. Yet, in November 2022, they decided to put the ranch on the market.

Originally asking $22.5million, it sold after a year. This sprawling estate boasts a 744-acre land area with a 8,600-square-foot main house hosting six beds and baths and six barns – Bradshaw then opted for a smaller ranch in Saint Jo, Texas.

“I loved this ranch so much, having built it from the ground up, so I was very tied to it,” he said. “Tammy and I really didn’t want to make the final break until we found our perfect sunset opportunity to do what we enjoy on a smaller scale and in a place we absolutely love, and we found that.”
