Throughout his tenure, franchise valuation has seemingly soared across the league. Despite a number of controversies – including players protesting police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem and mounting evidence about the prevalence of CTE and the destructive impacts it has on players long term – the NFL has continued to thrive under Goodell’s leadership. Goodell, 63, was first named commissioner in 2006, replacing Paul Tagliabue, who had retired after nearly 17 years at the helm of the NFL. This gives the league plenty of time to reach an agreement for a fourth extension with Goodell.

Tagliabue received $3,195,000.According to an ESPN report, Jones and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft engaged in a “ heated exchange” during an owners meeting in New York. executive vice-president and general counsel Jeff Pash ($4,845,000), executive vice-president business ventures Eric Grubman ($4,453,000), executive vice-president public relations and government relations Joe Browne ($1,741,000), executive vice-president football operations Ray Anderson ($1,158,000) and chief financial officer Anthony Noto ($853,000). He on his own declined to take a bonus that we wanted to give him last year because he didn’t think it was appropriate."Ĭompensations listed for other top officials included executive vice-president of media Steve Bornstein ($7,478,000). "And I’m comfortable with the way we’re rewarding him.
"I think Roger and his team run the entire business in a way that in today’s economic environment is just outstanding," Kraft said. 31, 2007, according to the sport’s last available tax return. The tax return for the year ending last March 31 showed Goodell made US$9,759,000, of which $2.9 million was salary and $6.55 million bonus and incentive compensation.īaseball commissioner Bud Selig had compensation of $17,470,491 for the year ending Oct. That announcement was made at the same time the league announced it cut 169 jobs through buyouts, layoffs and other staff reductions, a drop of just over 15 per cent of a work force that had been 1,100. The NFL said a year ago that Goodell voluntarily took a cut of 20 to 25 per cent, and that he and other league executives were freezing their salaries for 2009. While all terms of the new deal have not been completed, Blank said Goodell’s annual compensation will be unchanged.

It will be very difficult probably in many ways and we want to have someone who has his own views, who’s going to have to make some hard decisions that maybe some of us won’t like," New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said during a telephone interview. The NFL said Friday that owners voted to award the new contract when they met in December, and his new deal runs until March 2015. 1, 2006, and his contract was due to expire this September.
