Report: NFL negotiating contract extension for Goodell

Roger Goodell is negotiating a contract extension to remain as the NFL's commissioner, sources told Ben Fischer and John Ourand of the Sports Business Journal.

Although possible financial terms aren't known, extension discussions are focused on adding two to four years to Goodell's current deal, which is set to expire March 2024, per Fischer and Ourand. He reportedly earned $63.9 million in each of the past two seasons as part of his incentive-laden contract.

It's believed an agreement will be reached in the coming months, Fischer and Ourand report.

However, NFL vice president of communications Brian McCarthy said there's "no truth to this report."

Goodell signed his third extension as commissioner in 2017. The deal was touted by former league spokesperson Joe Lockhart to be his last.

Goodell succeeded Paul Tagliabue in 2006. In recent years, he's overseen $110 billion worth of broadcasting deals, ran the league through the COVID-19 pandemic, and reached a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement that'll last until 2030.
