NFL commissioner Roger Goodell isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The league announced Tuesday that the longtime leader has signed a multi-year extension.
“The Compensation Committee updated the full ownership today that an agreement has been reached to extend Commissioner Roger Goodell’s contract for three years, through March 2027,” the Wednesday press release read.
Goodell, 64, has been the NFL’s commissioner since 2006 and there are some within the league that believe this is his last deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Goodell’s predecessor, Paul Tagliabue, stepped down at 65. Before him, Pete Rozelle walked away from the job when he was 63, putting Goodell right in that window.
