NFL commissioner Roger Goodell isn't going anywhere any time soon. He agreed to a four-year extension through the 2030 league year. His contract now expires at the end of March 2031. At that point, Goodell will be nearly 72 years old and will have served as NFL commissioner for 24 years.
Goodell now will lead the league through the end of the current collective bargaining agreement, which also expires in March 2031.
He will likely oversee negotiations for the next CBA.
The value of teams around the league has exploded.
The game is growing internationally, and the schedule expanded to 17 games.
Over the next several years, we might see the regular season expand to 18 games and see even more international games.
In a memo to the 32 NFL teams, per ESPN,
"more than 95% of the total compensation tied to Roger's and the NFL's performance measured against various metrics and at the discretion of the Compensation Committee."
