NFL owners and commissioner Roger Goodell agreed to a three-year contract extension through March 2027, the league announced Wednesday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The new deal was reportedly agreed upon in March and was expected to be finalized shortly after, but the official agreement was delayed until the Fall League Meeting in New York. Goodell’s current agreement was set to expire at the end of this season.
Goodell took over from Paul Tagliabue in 2006 and will be in charge of the NFL for at least 22 years with his new deal. Tagliabue was commissioner for 17 years.
