Roger Goodell reportedly requests $50 million salary, lifetime private jet in contract talks

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly has requested nearly $50 million per year in addition to the lifetime use of a private jet amid contract negotiations with the league.

Goodell, whose proposed contract with the NFL currently is undergoing an approval process, asked the league’s compensation committee in August to raise his salary from $30 million to $49.5 million per year, ESPN reported Sunday.

Goodell also reportedly asked to use a private jet for life, and also requested lifetime health insurance for his family.

The commissioner currently is embattled with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who has threatened to sue the NFL if negotiations regarding Goodell’s contract extension are finalized without approval from all NFL team owners.

An unnamed NFL owner told ESPN that there are “several owners in this league who don’t make $40 million a year.” The owner added: “That number for Roger just seems too much. It’s offensive. It’s unseemly.”

Goodell has made headlines in recent months for his handling of league players protesting during the national anthem ahead of NFL games.

He said last month that “we want our players to stand” during the anthem, but stopped short of imposing a rule for players to do so.

One team owner, regarding the possibility Goodell possibly would leave his position, said “the problem” with the NFL is “no one is talking about games anymore.”

“It’s about concussions, Jones vs. Goodell, [Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension], the anthem. No one is talking about football. It’s just killing the game,” the owner told ESPN.

Another owner told the sports network that “Roger is defiant,” and they don’t believe he’ll “take a pay cut” or resign as commissioner of the NFL.

He's a turd.

Flush him.

The Clarks already have a jet

The Clarks are now hired

Hell, they can pay me 10 mill per year and just give me business class. I am available to take the job. Can't do worse than Goodell has.

It’s a nice citation X. Based at ft worth.

****ing embarrassing that he will get that

I really don't think a new commissioner is going to fix any of those issues. Certainly not going to make the concussion issue go away. Really all of these things are issues that go beyond the actual game. Gonna be hard for any commissioner to turn the attention back to the game when the quality of play has decreased like it has.

GCs plan to make the NFL better:

1) Thursday night football is shitcanned.
2) London games are shitcanned.
3) Mexico games are okay.
4) Start a week earlier and include an additional bye week into the schedule.
5) More practice time for the above concession to the Players union.
6) Start pink slipping refs and the people in charge of reffing. They are either incompetent or committing fraud. Must restore confidence in the brand.
7) Find a way to end the Patriots dynasty. It has become toxic to the league.

Why not?

what do you mean Dane? I srsly don't know - Just expand on that. Not being funny here.

Ask for everything

He's an absolute turn and has a lot of responsibility for the decline of this league. He should be replaced.

isn't this the american dream? go for everything?

I'll take the job for 5 million a year and NO private jet. Actually, what the hell does this guy really do except open the draft each year?

Condi Rice needs to be commissioner.

She loves the game.

Hell, she's a ****ing Browns fan. You have to be a cool person to claim that franchise.

Roger just loves himself.

His ego is out of control.
