NFL Owners Remain Confident About Roger Goodell Extension
The owners did not discuss it Wednesday during their meeting.
In Atlanta on Wednesday, NFL team owners met but did not discuss commissioner Roger Goodell's potential contract extension, according to a source. The group remains certain they will finalize a deal with Goodell in the months ahead. An owner present at the hotel meeting near the airport expressed certainty about the outcome, stating, "That's going to get done," according to Front Office Sports.
Later, another owner confirmed to the same outlet that the topic was not broached during the gathering. The NFL's upcoming gathering is slated for October in New York. Earlier this month, FOS had reported that the owners are optimistic they will reach an agreement with Goodell on an extension in the near future. His present contract expires in March 2027, when he will turn 68.
The owners, who first selected Goodell as commissioner in 2006, approved a three-year extension with him in October 2023. Many believe retaining Goodell is crucial as the league prepares for negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association, which may encompass an 18-game schedule and fresh broadcasting contracts.
