Terry Bradshaw has made huge decision on FOX Sports future ahead of 2025 NFL season
There’s much uncertainty over the FOX NFL Sunday crew heading into the 2025 NFL season. Popular hosts Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews’ are no longer part of the network, while Fox ever-present Jimmy Johnson has announced his retirement from broadcasting. Andrews is no longer with the Fox networkGetty Elsewhere, Michael Strahan has thrown his name in the hat for an iconic movie role. However, one key member of the crew who isn’t going anywhere is Terry Bradshaw. The 76-year-old confirmed he will be returning to the network for the 2025 NFL season during Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. The Pittsburgh Steelers legend said he is hoping to play out his contract at FOX Sports and call one more Super Bowl. He revealed he plans to walk away at the ripe age of 80. “I told my wife before I left the room a while ago,” Bradshaw said at a FOX Sports press conference in New Orleans before Super Bowl LIX. “I was sitting there and I got two years left at FOX. I’m 76. It’s a young man’s game, I get that. Everybody wants the new thing. “So I said if we can get to the next Super Bowl, I’ll be 80. “I think that’s time and that’s 80 years old and that’s pushing it.” FOX had the broadcasting rights to Super Bowl LIX at the Superdome as the Eagles beat the Chiefs, and won’t have it again until 2029 for Super Bowl LXIII. Bradshaw is under contract with Fox Sports for the next two yearsGetty He’s vowed to retire in four years when he’s 80 – after calling the 2029 Super BowlGetty That’s when $375m man Tom Brady will next be on the big game broadcast and, seemingly, when Bradshaw pans to ride off into the sunset. The four-time Super Bowl winning quarterback says he currently has two years remaining on his Fox contract, so would need to be re-signed and extended for two more years if he is hoping to reach his goal of calling Super Bowl LXIII. The Steelers legend has been with FOX since 1994 (and CBS before that), as an analyst and co-host of the popular FOX NFL Sunday show. Sadly, he’ll be continuing on next season without long-time colleague Johnson. The 31-year Fox veteran went on The Herd last week and informed the audience of his decision to step away from his broadcasting responsibilities. “Probably the most fun I’ve ever had in my career, and that’s counting Super Bowls and national championships, was at Fox Sports,” Johnson said. Johnson’s 31-year run with Fox is overGetty “I have an absolute ball with my friends on the set and the best friends I’ve ever had there with Fox. “And I tell you, on top of that, you know, I love working for Eric Shanks, our CEO and our producer, Bill Richards. “But I’ve made an extremely difficult decision, I’ve been thinking about it for the last four or five years, and I’ve decided to retire from Fox and I’m going to miss it. “I’m going to miss all the guys and I’ll see them occasionally, but it has been a great run starting back 31 years ago.” Johnson initially joined Fox in 1994 as a television analyst, after being the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for the prior five seasons. The two-time Super Bowl winning head coach joined the Miami Dolphins for four seasons between 1996-1999. He rejoined FOX after the ’99 season where he has remained until now.
