Bradshaw has been with Fox for 31 years (and CBS before that) as an analyst and co-host of the popular Fox NFL Sunday show.
But in recent times his future has been questioned.
However, the man himself stated that he wanted to complete his contract at Fox Sports and call another Super Bowl.
He revealed that he plans to leave at the age of 80.
“I told my wife a little while ago before I left the room,” Bradshaw said at a Fox Sports press conference in New Orleans before Super Bowl LIX.
“I was sitting there and I had two years left at FOX. I’m 76 years old. It’s a young man’s game, I get it. Everybody wants the new thing.
“So I said if we can get to the next Super Bowl, I’ll be 80 years old.
“I think that time has come and he’s 80 years old and he’s paying it forward.”
