NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell agrees on a 4-year contract extension
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reached a four-year contract extension, with the agreement in place until the 2030 league season. The terms of the new deal were disclosed by the NFL’s Compensation Committee, which worked with a third-party consultant to structure a performance-based agreement. According to its chairman, Robert Kraft, the arrangement aligns Goodell’s compensation with the league’s long-term success.
The NFL has not disclosed Goodell’s financial terms, but the last reported figure was $63.9 million for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons. This marks the fifth contract extension for the 67-year-old Goodell, who has been at the helm since 2006. His leadership has led to significant growth in the league's popularity and revenue, with record-breaking sales of franchises and a record nine international games slated for the upcoming season.
The current collective bargaining agreement, which expired in March 2031, will also conclude at the same time as Goodell’s contract.
