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

[MarkP88]

He makes more than any player. Why in god's name would he or any owner think that makes sense? It's ludicrous.

Jerry is already winning. Love that the other owners are shivering under Jerry's fist and are only willing to offer an incentives based deal. No Guaranteed Money for You!!

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."
―Joey Zasa[src]

Love it,,. But you left out best part... “nothing for you” lol

I assure you none of the owners are shivering under Jerry's fist.

The argument for an incentives based deal is a strong one, regardless of Jerry's grandstanding.

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.

There is no future contract, pal.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard here yet. IF - big if - there were underhanded dealings to be revealed, Jerry would be cutting off his own nose to spite his face. He's not killing his own golden goose.

i could do Roger's job 1000 times better and would be happy to take 1/10 of the pay, my first initiatives would be

1. Eliminate Thursday Night Football
2. Eliminate London and Mexico City games
3. Simplify the catch rule

there are about 7 other things i could list, but those 3 are a good start

I heard Jerry was quoted as saying, "Anyone of 500 commissioners could run this league."

His primary concern should be retaining his job.

exactly, Goodell is a greedy imbecile

 

[elcowboi]

He can always quit...

Like the saying goes.
It’s better to make water than to be watered

Ah poor Goodell. Someone get him so tissue.

My opinion is that they aren’t shivering but curious how you can “assure us” that they aren’t? Haven’t followed a ton being TDY overseas so asking if there is other proof that the owners aren’t scared one bit etc.

me too. small market teams could be "shivering" but not major markets

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

The guy should feel lucky if he survives all this. Most incompetent Commissioner I've ever seen.

 

[ThreeandOut]

So if he’s as good at making the owners money as he thinks he is, then he shouldn’t have a problem hitting those incentives.

I hope Goodell prefers his next job at Burger Hut. Man, I hope the league gets rid of his worthless butt. Rozelle was so much better. Even Taggyboob was better.
