Roger Goodell's tenure as NFL commissioner will likely continue for at least another three years.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay intimated at the spring league meetings in Minneapolis on Tuesday that Goodell and the NFL owners are closing in on a contract extension and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said an announcement would be coming soon. Goodell, though, refused to admit one way or another when asked by reporters.."It's not extended today, that's for sure."
Goodell took over as commissioner on Aug. 8, 2006, after Paul Tagliabue retired from the role. He's since signed contract extensions in 2009, 2012 and 2017. Goodell's current deal doesn't expire until 2024, meaning a new deal would push Goodell's tenure out to 2027. This year marks Goodell's 18th as commissioner, which already makes him the second-longest tenured commissioner in league history behind Peter Rozelle, who served for 27 years from 1960-1989.
