Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2024
Image credit: ClutchPoints

Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2024 is $12 million. The esteemed offensive coordinator has struggled to take that success to the head coach ranks as the Las Vegas Raiders fired him as head coach just eight games into the 2023 season. Let’s look at Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2024.

What is Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2024?: $12 million (estimate)

You can’t write the story of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick without mentioning McDaniels. A big part of the Patriots dynasty, he is now looking for his next opportunity, although he’s still being paid by the Raiders. Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2023 is $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Josh McDaniels was born on April 22, 1976, in Canton, Ohio. Growing up in Canton, the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it shouldn’t be a surprise that he would grow up with football being an integral part of his life. He was a wide receiver at John Carroll University, but his playing career was just a steppingstone to being a household name in football.

Josh McDaniels’ early coaching career

You can say that Josh McDaniels was destined for a career in coaching under the sport’s biggest names, as his coaching career began as a graduate assistant at Michigan State under Nick Saban.

McDaniels joined the New England Patriots in 2001 as a personnel assistant and moved on to a defensive assistant in 2003. In 2004, the Patriots promoted him to quarterbacks coach, creating the historic relationship between him and Tom Brady.

In McDaniels’ first four seasons with the team, the Patriots won three Super Bowls. Then in 2005, McDaniels started calling plays for the offense, officially taking on the role of offensive coordinator after the season. In 2007, the Patriots had arguably the best offensive season of all time, setting numerous NFL records. Belichick assumed that the writing was on the wall, and he began to train McDaniels to be a head coach.

Josh McDaniels’ first head-coach job 

In 2009, the Denver Broncos named McDaniels their head coach. The Broncos signed him to a four-year, $8 million contract.

Over two seasons with the Broncos, McDaniels amassed an 11-17 record. The team would not keep him around for the duration of the four years, firing him at the end of the second season.

The St. Louis Rams brought McDaniels in for the 2011 season to be their offensive coordinator. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo believed that McDaniels was one of the top offensive minds in the NFL. Unfortunately for McDaniels, the Rams fired Spagnuolo as head coach after the season and decided to let McDaniels go as well.

Josh McDaniels returns to the Patriots

The Patriots rehired McDaniels during the 2011 playoffs as an offensive assistant coach. He was hired to replace Bill O’Brien as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, the position McDaniels held before leaving.

McDaniels held the position for 10 more seasons, winning Super Bowls in 2014, 2016, and 2018. McDaniels is one of a few New England Patriots personnel to be present for all six Super Bowl titles during the Brady era.

His second stint as offensive coordinator had some controversy, as he accepted the head-coaching job in Indianapolis in 2018 but changed his mind and stayed with New England. The move ended up paying off for McDaniels, as he won his sixth Super Bowl that season. However, the controversy arose when his long-time agent, Bob LaMonte, cut ties after the decision.

Josh McDaniels becomes Raiders head coach

McDaniels took a chance and entered into the world of head coaching once again in 2022. The Las Vegas Raiders offered McDaniels a contract to be their new head coach. McDaniels is making a reported $10 million per season on a four-year term.

Much like his first tenure as a head coach, McDaniels struggled in his first season with the Raiders. The team suffered a 6-11 record, stirring up talks that McDaniels should have stayed on the offensive side of the ball.

However, owner Mark Davis expressed his support for McDaniels as the head coach of the team. It was reported that Davis didn’t actually support McDaniels but instead couldn’t afford to pay the high severance package.

However, after a 3-5 start and the players unhappy with McDaniels as coach, Davis found the money for the severance package and fired McDaniels. Afterward, Davis made linebacker coach Antonio Pierce the interim head coach and, after a search for a head coach in the offseason, made Pierce the permanent head coach.

Nevertheless, did Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2024 surprise you?

Why as many as 100 NFL players are facing fines and potential suspension

Why as many as 100 NFL players are facing fines and potential suspension

There is not a bigger sporting event in North America than the Super Bowl, and tickets are only getting more expensive every year. There is also a ridiculous secondary market for tickets where seats sell for well above the original face value. It is usually fans or ticket resellers going for a quick profit. But as was reported on Friday, sometimes it can be players in the NFL looking to make a profit. According to multiple reports, including the Associated Press and ESPN, more than 100 players are facing fines and potential suspensions for selling their allotment of tickets to this year's Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs for above face value. Players are reportedly facing fines of one-and-a-half times the face value they originally paid for the tickets, while they are also prevented from purchasing tickets to the Super Bowl for the next seasons. The Associated Press obtained a memo from the NFL detailing the violation and investigation. That memo was as follows: “Our initial investigation has determined that a number of NFL players and coaches, employed by several NFL Clubs, sold Super Bowl tickets for more than the ticket’s face value in violation of the Policy. This long-standing League Policy, which is specifically incorporated into the Collective Bargaining Agreement, prohibits League or Club employees, including players, from selling NFL game tickets acquired from their employer for more than the ticket’s face value or for an amount greater than the employee originally paid for the ticket, whichever is less. We are in the process of completing our investigation into this matter, but the investigation has revealed that club employees and players sold their tickets to a small number of ‘bundlers’ who were working with a ticket reseller to sell the Super Bowl tickets above face value.” If players are not willing to pay the fine, they could be facing suspension from the league. It seems unlikely that any of the players — none of whom have been named, or their teams — would refuse to pay such a fine. It's also one of those moments where you can say, professional athletes — they're still normal people trying to make a quick buck. The most logical answer here is perhaps some of the players caught up in this are younger players who have not yet struck it rich on a big contract or perhaps even practice squad players who are not making top dollar.

Aaron Boone Makes Feelings Clear After Yankees’ Big Trade

Aaron Boone Makes Feelings Clear After Yankees’ Big Trade

The New York Yankees didn't come into the season with the strongest third base situation, and it only got worse over time. They converted traditional second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the hot corner after getting him at the Trade Deadline last season and installed a timeshare with him, DJ LeMahieu, Oswald Peraza, and Oswaldo Cabrera there in 2025. However, the latter player broke his ankle on May 12, and the Yankees released the now 37-year-old LeMahieu on July 10. Chisholm was primarily back at second at that point, so this left Peraza and Jorbit Vivas as their only true remaining third basemen. With Peraza hitting .147 and Vivas hitting .164, it was clear what the team's biggest need was. That's why it acquired veteran third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies on Friday. New York manager Aaron Boone gave his thoughts about the 30-year-old before Friday's bout with the Philadelphia Phillies, via SNY. "I know there's real offensive potential there. I know he's had real offensive success, as well as some struggles there over the last calendar year or two," he said. "It seems like over the last month he's really started swinging the bat like he's capable of. He can impact the ball, he can control the strike zone, he's had some swing-and-misses that have probably hurt him a little bit." "But then he can really defend over there," he continued. "The handful of times that we've played against them that I watch him, you're like, 'That's what it should look like over there.' He moves really well and has that prototypical good third base thing." McMahon is slashing .217/.314/.403 with 16 homers and 35 RBI over 100 games this season. He also has a .978 fielding percentage and six errors. Right-handed pitcher Will Warren (6-5, 4.91 ERA) will start for the Yankees against Phillies right-hander Taijuan Walker (3-5, 3.75 ERA) on Friday.

Dodgers Announce Max Muncy Update After 16 Straight Missed Games

Third baseman Max Muncy is in his eighth season with the Los Angeles Dodgers after debuting with the Oakland Athletics in 2015. Muncy failed to establish himself as a reliable major-league hitter in Oakland, but his career took off in Los Angeles. The 34-year-old left-handed slugger has made two All-Star teams with the Dodgers and appeared in 905 games, hitting 203 home runs and driving in 575 runs. He’s also been a postseason hero, batting .217 with 44 hits, 13 homers, 34 RBIs and 38 runs scored across 62 career playoff games, and he’s won two World Series titles (2020, 2024). On July 2 against the Chicago White Sox, Muncy sustained a left knee bone bruise after a collision at third base while making a tag. An MRI showed no structural damage, and although his initial recovery timeline was set at six weeks, the Dodgers announced he could begin a rehab assignment next week and return ahead of schedule. His rehab progress has expedited his return timetable, and the team is eagerly anticipating his comeback. During his absence, the Dodgers have dropped five of 16 games, and their division lead dropped to five games over the San Diego Padres. His veteran presence has been missed in the clubhouse as much as his bat has been at the plate. In 2025, Muncy is batting .250 with an .832 OPS, 13 home runs, 55 RBIs and 51 walks while hitting in the heart of the Dodgers' lineup.

Trade rejection speaks volumes about Red Sox's Jarren Duran intentions

Trade rejection speaks volumes about Red Sox's Jarren Duran intentions

The Boston Red Sox appear to have no interest in trading outfielder Jarren Duran, at least not in the near future. Trade rumors have swirled around Duran for most of the season, especially after designated hitter Rafael Devers was traded to the Giants. However, Sean McAdam from MassLive reported that the Red Sox may wait until the offseason before moving on from the former All-Star. The decision to wait on Duran is not due to a lack of offers. McAdam also reported that the Padres made a significant offer for Duran involving pitcher Dylan Cease, catching prospect Ethan Salas and another unnamed prospect. That offer was quickly rejected. The Padres have long coveted Duran. McAdam had previously reported that the Padres have been "relentless" in their pursuit of the Red Sox outfielder. The reported trade offer including Salas, the Padres second-best prospect and the 21st-best prospect in baseball per MLB.com, illustrates how serious they are about acquiring Duran. Likewise, the Red Sox's refusal to entertain such an offer, even as a starting point for negotiations, speaks volumes about their interest in moving Duran. The Padres' offer would help solve several problems for the Red Sox in both the present and future. Moving Duran would help clear up the logjam in the outfield, while Cease and Salas would respectively improve the back of their rotation and provide a possible cornerstone behind the plate going forward. Duran is a valuable trade chip as he is under team control through 2028. He has also taken a step back in production from his stellar showing in 2024, posting a respectable .254/.321/.428 batting line in 459 plate appearances entering Friday, with nine homers and 25 doubles while stealing 16 bases. That production would be an upgrade for several teams looking to improve their outfield going forward. The question is whether or not the Red Sox will be realistic in their asking price for Duran. Considering how quickly the Padres' offer was reportedly rejected, that may not be the case.
