NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is close to signing a new contract with the league and it is likely to be his last, with big changes likely to follow his departure in a few years.
Multiple reports indicate the 64-year-old will soon sign an extension that will run until March 2027, when he will likely retire. Goodell's current contract, reportedly worth up to $200million (£162m) is due to expire in 10 months' time.
"It's just dotting the i's and crossing the t's, but it's done," Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay told ESPN about Goodell's contract situation at the league's spring meetings in Minneapolis this week. "We still have to rubber stamp it so to speak, but it's virtually done."
