  "account": "The NFL’s team owners met in Atlanta on Wednesday but did not discuss the commissioner Roger Goodell’s potential contract extension, according to a source cited by Front Office Sports. A confident source at the meeting stated, \"That's going to get done,\" asserting their assurance of reaching an agreement with Goodell in the months ahead. An owner later confirmed to FOS that the subject of Goodell’s extension was not broached during the gathering. The next owners’ meeting is scheduled for October in New York. Earlier this month, FOS reported that owners remain confident they will secure a deal with Goodell in the coming months, noting his current contract expires in March 2027, when he will turn 68. Goodell was first elected as NFL commissioner in 2006 and had a three-year extension agreed upon with the owners in October 2023.",
