“I’m a blue-collar American who enjoys life and who just happens to be good at punting footballs.” Pat McAfee ain’t just talking the talk—he’s strutting his stuff, and then some! This former NFL punter did a 180, trading in his cleats for a microphone and going viral.

Picture this: a guy who can boot a football like there’s no tomorrow and then turn around to charm millions with his wit and charisma. As this star rose, so did his bank balance.

What is Pat McAfee’s salary?

The former football punter, Pat McAfee’s, current salary is sitting neatly at $17M, while his net worth’s hit a crazy $60M. Not bad for a former punter, right?

After a solid but short NFL career—retiring at just 29 due to an injury—McAfee took home about $15M in earnings. During his eight seasons in Indianapolis, he averaged $1.85M annually. His most lucrative contract? A five-year, $14M deal in 2014 (with a cool $5M in guarantees).

But Pat wasn’t about to take it easy. Instead, he tried his hands on broadcasting and entertainment. And it worked out. He danced his way into notoriety as a sports analyst on ESPN’s College GameDay. The former punter then started his own show—The Pat McAfee Show. 

If that’s not enough, McAfee also made a mark in wrestling as a signed WWE commentator. Occasionally, he laces up his boots to join the action. Be it NXT TakeOver panels or high-flying antics, he’s all game.

But how much is The Pat McAfee Show worth? 

How much is The Pat McAfee Show worth?

Back in 2021, the color commentator and his crew scored a four-year, $120M deal from FanDuel. But the real kicker? After literally 18 months, McAfee and the gang ghosted that contract like it was a sour Tinder date. Commitment issues, anyone?

Two years in, and The Pat McAfee Show exploded onto ESPN platforms—with a new five-year, $85M deal. Sure, it’s a bit of a drop from the FanDuel deal, but this gig’s all about keeping the party alive on YouTube while simulcasting on ESPN+. More eyeballs on the show? Heck yes!

So, while the dollar figures might do the cha-cha, one thing’s for sure: McAfee ain’t a rookie in the media game. As he continues to shake stuff up and connect with fans, the true value of The Pat McAfee Show might just be its skyrocketing influence—not just the cash flow.
