Roger Goodell expected to receive contract extension approval from NFL owners: Sources

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to receive approval Wednesday from the 32 team owners on a contract extension, according to league sources.

Goodells current deal, which was last extended in 2023, is set to expire in 2027.

If the approval goes through as expected, it will mark the fifth time the NFLs compensation committee has extended Goodell.

Before 2023, he previously re-upped with the league in 2009, 2012 and 2017.

Advertisement Goodell, 66, has served as the leagues commissioner since 2006, succeeding Paul Tagliabue.

Since becoming commissioner, Goodell has helped finalize two collective bargaining agreements and a new media rights deal, while seeing franchise valuations skyrocket.

The Washington Commanders fetched an NFL-record $6.05 billion when the franchise was sold to a group led by Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris in 2023.

He has also overseen the leagues international growth with games in the United Kingdom, Germany and Brazil now staples of the calendar.

The 2025 season will see seven regular-season games played outside the United States.
