Roger Goodell and the franchise owners are expected to finalize a multi-year contract extension at next week’s owners meetings in Phoenix, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Terms of the deal have not yet been reported, but are expected to be incentive-laden and the richest ever given to any commissioner in any sport.
That likely means Goodell would receive north of the $63.9 million he was reported to have received for the 2020-21 season.
The proposed deal will reportedly be presented by the NFL’s compensation committee, which received permission to begin working on the contract last season, to team owners during a special session that Tuesday.
