As an ESPN commentator, Gruden earned $6.5 million per year. In September 2015, it was revealed that Gruden was the highest-paid personality on ESPN.

Largest NFL Coaching Contract

When Jon returned to the Raiders in 2018 as a head coach, he signed what was then the largest coaching contract in NFL history. The 10-year contract was worth a reported $100 million. It therefore paid $10 million per year. His highest NFL coaching salary prior to returning in 2018 was the $4 million per year he earned from Tampa Bay.

Gruden stepped down from the Raiders in October 2021 after emails he sent were leaked to the media. The emails contained racist and homophobic comments. Gruden will reportedly not receive any of the $60 million remaining on his deal at the time of his resignation. It's unclear how much of his salary he had already earned in the 2021 season.
