Chris (Cris) Collinsworth is widely reported to make about $12.5 million per year as NBC’s lead “Sunday Night Football” analyst under his current contract.

Current salary estimate

  • Multiple sports and business outlets note that Collinsworth’s latest NBC deal, negotiated in the early‑to‑mid 2020s, pays him around $12.5 million annually for his work on “Sunday Night Football.”
  • A 2024 report on his contract extension reiterates that he “currently makes around $12.5 million a year,” with the new agreement expected to keep him as NBC’s top NFL analyst for several more seasons.

Earlier salary figures

  • Before his raise, Collinsworth had already been earning an estimated $4 million per year as a color commentator and TV personality, reflecting his long-standing role as a top-tier NFL broadcaster.
  • Newer, smaller estimates around $4 million still appear on some websites, but these generally reflect older contracts and do not match the more recent reporting tied to his current long-term NBC deal.

Net worth and overall earnings

  • Collinsworth’s broadcasting income, combined with his earlier NFL playing career and business ventures, has helped push his estimated net worth into the mid‑$20 million range (roughly $25–27 million in recent estimates).
  • That figure includes not just his salary as an analyst but also prior playing contracts, media work across several networks, and other professional activities over multiple decades.
