Okay, so I’ve been digging into this Pat McAfee guy. You know, the football dude who’s now doing commentary and all that? Yeah, that guy. Well, I was curious about how much money he’s actually making these days, and let me tell you, it’s a lot.
Started with Some Basic Searching
First off, I just did a simple search online to get a general idea. I mean, he was an NFL player, a punter to be exact, and he was pretty good at it, too. Made it to the Pro Bowl twice and was an All-Pro in 2014. After he retired in 2017, he didn’t just disappear. He jumped right into being an analyst, and he’s also done some stand-up comedy and wrestling analysis.
The ESPN Deal
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Apparently, in 2023, he signed a massive deal with ESPN. We’re talking $85 million over five years. Can you believe that? That’s like $17 million per year! I had to double-check that number because it’s just insane. It seems like he’s a big deal in the sports broadcasting world.
Finding Out His Net Worth
- I wanted to know his overall net worth, so I checked out a couple of sources.
- One site says his net worth is around $60 million. I guess all those years in the NFL, plus his current gig, really added up.
- Another site also estimated his net worth at $60 million and confirmed that his salary is now $17 million.
Leaving FanDuel
He wasn’t always with ESPN, though. I found out that he used to be with FanDuel, but then he made the switch. I guess ESPN offered him a deal he couldn’t refuse.
What I Think About It All
Honestly, it’s kind of crazy to think about how much money this guy is making. From being a football player to now being a big-time analyst, he’s really made a name for himself. I think I’ll try to watch more of his show. He’s a interesting guy.
