Roger Goodell extended as NFL commissioner through 2030 season
The NFL compensation committee approved a four-year extension, keeping Goodell in charge through the league’s 2030 season.
Roger Goodell will remain commissioner of the National Football League through the 2030 league season after the NFL compensation committee approved a four-year contract extension.
The agreement aligns Goodell’s tenure with the league’s current collective bargaining agreement. The term will run through 31 March 2031, according to a statement from the compensation committee reported by CBS Sports.
More than 95 per cent of Goodell’s total compensation is tied to his performance and the NFL’s performance, according to the committee and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who chairs the committee. The announcement did not disclose the value of the contract or the specific metrics used to assess performance.
The extension is expected to keep Goodell in the role for the NFL’s next round of collective bargaining negotiations with the NFL Players Association.
Goodell became commissioner in 2007. His continued tenure comes as the league’s media-rights agreements, reportedly worth just over US$110 billion, run through the 2032 season.
