While he and his colleagues may not be scoring contracts quite as big as the $504 million extension Mahomes inked in June, they’re converting some major deals.
For instance, when Andrews became a free agent in 2025 for the first time in her two-decade career, Fox was quick to get her back on their roster. Though the Xs and Os of the deal weren’t disclosed publicly, her annual salary is reportedly close to $2 million.
Her Calm Down With Erin and Charissa cohost Charissa Thompson was also retained, uh, calming down listeners who thought she may be drafted by another network.
“I was never leaving Fox,” Thompson, who helms the network’s NFL Kickoff pregame show along with Prime’s Thursday Night Football pregame programming, told Andrews on an April 2025 episode of their podcast. “I don’t know where this took on a life of its own, where I was hosting my family at the ranch for the past weekend. Four of my family members asked, ‘Well, the place looks great. How are you going to afford it now that you don’t have a job?'”
