New York, New York - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has agreed to terms with team owners on a contract extension through the 2030 season, the league announced on Sunday.
The move comes three days before the start of the 2006 NFL campaign, with Goodell's current contract set to end in March 2027.
Goodell, who last signed an extension in October 2023, would have his latest deal expire on March 31, 2031, under the terms of the deal.
Goodell's first major priority will be negotiations on a new NFL collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association, as the current deal is set to expire in March 2031.
He will also face new media rights deals to be negotiated and the club owners' desire to increase seasons to 18 games per team.
A memo by compensation committee chairman Robert Kraft to other team owners that was obtained by NFL Network and ESPN described the new agreement with Goodell as "heavily performance-based, with 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."
"We believe we are very fortunate to have Roger at the helm for the next four years," Kraft said in the memo.
Goodell, 67, was first elected commissioner in 2006 to replace Paul Tagliabue and serve as the eighth full-time commissioner in NFL history.
