Roger Goodell isn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

The NFL commissioner reached agreement on a four-year extension through the 2030 season on Sunday, the league announced, which will extend his tenure at the helm of the league to 24 years.<\/p>\n

Robert Kraft, the chairman of the NFL\u2019s compensation committee, sent a memo on Sunday announcing the extension, which was obtained by ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs members of the compensation committee, we\u2019re pleased to announce that we have reached agreement with Roger to remain as commissioner through the 2030 league season, ending on March 31, 2031,\u201d Kraft wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the negotiation process, the committee has worked closely with an independent third-party compensation consultant and outside counsel to structure a deal that aligns Roger\u2019s compensation with the league\u2019s long-term interests and success. To that end, the agreement is heavily performance-based, with more than 95% of the total competnsation tied to Roger and the NFL\u2019s performance measured against various metrics and at the discretion of the compensation committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe we are very fortunate to have Roger at the helm for the next four years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goodell, 67, will be almost 72 at the deal\u2019s conclusion. <\/p>\n

He took over for Paul Tagliabue in 2006 and has been hugely successful in growing the league into a behemoth, while hitting controversy in his handling of disciplinary issues and concussions.<\/p>\n

Those issues, however, are largely in the past. Today, under Goodell\u2019s tutelage, the NFL is perhaps the most successful \u2014 or at least the most popular \u2014 institution in American society.<\/p>\n

The league\u2019s earnings \u2014 $23 billion in revenue for the fiscal year ending in March 2025 \u2014 and its media rights deals worth over $110 billion are what Goodell can hang his hat on now. <\/p>\n

So too is the ever-growing international presence of the NFL, which will play nine games overseas this year including the Rams-49ers opener in Melbourne, Australia.<\/p>\n

Goodell\u2019s new contract will presumably allow him to negotiate the next collective bargaining agreement, having been in charge for the last two. The CBA is set to expire after the 2030 season, but negotiations are expected to take place well before then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roger Goodell isn\u2019t going anywhere.
