    NFL owners set to finalize Roger Goodell's lucrative multi-year extension

    There were no rumors of Roger Goodell’s demise, but if there had been any they would have been greatly exaggerated, Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post reports.

    According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, NFL owners and commissioners are expected to finalize a contract extension when the owners meet next week in Phoenix.


    The report said that specific duration of the contract and financial figures were unknown, though a three-year deal has been previously discussed.

    The deal, Schefter wrote, is expected to “be incentive-laden and, considering the league’s financial success, the most lucrative deal ever given to any commissioner in any sport.”

    The New York Times reported in 2021 that Goodell’s total compensation for the 2020-21 fiscal year approached $64 million.

    At the time Goodell signed his last extension, in 2017, the league said that his tenure in charge would conclude with the deal in 2024.

    “The commissioner has been clear he views this as his final contract,” former NFL communications executive Joe Lockhart said at the time.

    Goodell’s last contract extension came after a challenge from Jerry Jones, the powerful owner of the Cowboys, who threatened to sue the league over the deal.

    This go-round, according to Schefter, “appears to have gone considerably more smoothly.”

    everyone gets a bite of the apple
    We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.
