Terry Bradshaw Makes Retirement Admission After Jimmy Johnson News

Johnson announced in March that he was stepping away after 31 years on Fox’s NFL coverage, revealing his decision on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd."

The two-time Super Bowl champion thanked Fox Sports leadership and his colleagues, calling the run "the most fun I ever had in my career," even as he acknowledged he’d been considering retirement for four to five years.

Johnson had been a fixture on "Fox NFL Sunday" since his retirement from coaching in 2002. He was on the original "Fox NFL Sunday" crew from its inception in 1994 until he took the head coaching job with the Miami Dolphins in 1996.

Gronkowski, the four-time Super Bowl-winning tight end for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, now joins "Fox NFL Sunday" full-time, occupying Johnson’s chair after multiple seasons as a frequent guest. Bradshaw, meanwhile, remains a cornerstone of "Fox NFL Sunday," now entering his 32nd consecutive season with the program after leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl titles in the 1970s.

Before Fox launched its NFL show in 1994, he started on television at CBS as a game analyst in 1984 and moved into a studio role on "The NFL Today" in 1990, establishing the cadence he’s carried into Fox.

During Super Bowl media week in February, Bradshaw said he has "two years left at Fox," calling it "a young man's game" and framing his timeline candidly while acknowledging the grind of weekly broadcasts.

Fox, for its part, has confirmed Bradshaw's return for 2025 and he’s also expanding into radio with a weekly Tuesday segment on 103.7 The Buzz’s "Morning Mayhem."
