News: Roger Goodell is reportedly 'furious' about a major adjustment to his next contract with the NFL

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is reportedly "furious" over potential changes to his next contract with the league.

According to ESPN's Seth Wickersham and Don Van Natta Jr., Jerry Jones and other NFL owners have been adamant that Goodell's next contract have less guaranteed money and be more focused on performance-based compensation.

"He feels as if the owners have made a lot of money and he should be compensated accordingly," a source told ESPN. "The incentives thing really angers him."

Tensions were already high around league offices regarding Goodell's next deal, as Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reportedly threatened a lawsuit against the league and some team owners in order to have a bigger say in the commissioner's next contract.

It appears that other owners are also frustrated with Goodell, with issues like ongoing player protests and dwindling television ratings. However, there are also seemingly enough owner for the two-thirds vote needed to approve Goodell's contract.

The "potential changes" are where Jerry took a sharpie, crossed out "34 Million" under salary and wrote in "zero".

This clown makes over $40 million a year. It’s a joke.

I hope he is furious.

This is the plot for Godfather 3, Goodell is Joey Zaza.



"I say to all of you, I have been treated this day, with no respect. I've earned you all money. I've made you rich, and I asked for little. Good. You will not give, I'll take! As for Don Corleone, well he makes it, very clear to me today, that he is my enemy. You must choose between us."

Can't understand how he still has a job to be honest. Just look at the debacles he's been a part of or started, combine that with ratings being down, I honestly don't understand how owners haven't pushed to replace him.

Maybe he will quit by 2:00 PM EST. And the new interim commissioner will exonerate Zeke.

 

[Kaiser]

I cry dry tears for you Goodell.

Jerry is also offering Goodell an arbitration hearing to appeal his firing. The Arbitration panel judges are Ezekiel Elliot and four members of Jerry's immediate family.

Seems fair.

I love Goodell tears

 

[calico]

I'd be pissed too if I saw the biscuit wheels breaking off my gravy train.

 

[Kaiser]

Seems fair.

"Never, ever suspend Ezekiel Elliott, Fredo."

 

[Ranched]

Good. Now Goodell has a taste of his own medicine. He's like a pesty fly that just won't go away. First the Pats, now the 'Boys.

 

[Satchel89]

Furious about $40 million a year? That's ridiculous. What a maggot

Just wait until he sees his Christmas Bonus!

 

[DallasEast]

It's just money Roger. Settle down.

 

[AzorAhai]

The NFL was growing exponentially and making money hand over fist before he came in. How in the world does this idiot think anything he has done has been for the betterment of the game?

 

[TheCount]

lol, he feels he should be paid a guaranteed contract because the owners make money hand over first?

The players probably wouldn't mind a guaranteed contract for the same reason.

Sounds like Rog just realized he's an inmate right along with the players.
