Report: NFL owners expected to OK Roger Goodell contract extension
May 21 - NFL owners are expected to approve a contract extension for commissioner Roger Goodell at their spring league meeting on Wednesday, The Athletic reported. Goodell, 66, has been commissioner since 2006, and his current contract expires in March 2027. He last received a contract extension -- his fourth -- in 2023. The league does not disclose Goodell's salary, but at the time of his most recent extension, ESPN said he reportedly earned $63.9 million annually in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons. Goodell has overseen league growth both domestically and internationally. Teams are more valuable now than ever, thanks in part to a media-rights deal that Goodell helped to negotiate, with the Washington Commanders sold for a record $6.065 billion in 2023. The annual draft now is held in rotating league cities, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans. The NFL also has expanded its global footprint, with seven regular-season games set to be played outside the United States in 2025. Goodell is the eighth NFL commissioner and his tenure is second in length only to Pete Rozelle, who served from 1960-89. --Field Level Media
