A contract extension through 2027 for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is in the plans.
This is one of the topics discussed at the spring governors meeting on Tuesday. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is the one who spilled the beans to ESPN.
“It is a question of putting the dots on the “i” and the bars on the “t”, but it is done, he announced. […] He has done so much for the stability of this league. It’s a tough job, but he works hard for the NFL and its success.”
Called to react to this information, Goodell was content to say that there was nothing official yet and that he liked his work. The 64-year-old took over in 2006 and his contract expires next year.
Irsay thus mentioned that Goodell could take advantage of this new agreement to train his successor at the head of the NFL if he decides to leave his place in 2027.
“Without a doubt, he will be involved and he will have the option to stay as a consultant and help us establish a list of the people he thinks are the best,” assured the businessman.
During his time as commissioner, Goodell focused on opening the NFL to the world, but also had to deal with several scandals such as the “Deflategate”, protests during national anthems and compensation for players who suffered injuries. head injuries.
