News: Sources: Committee to talk Roger Goodell contract; last commish proposal included $49.5M salary, pri

[morasp]

The NFL's Compensation Committee will hold a conference call Monday to discuss and further push ahead the proposed extension for commissioner Roger Goodell, sources confirmed to ESPN.

The conference call, first reported Saturday by The New York Times, comes after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones voiced his displeasure about the contract extension that the committee has been discussing. The call also gives the committee a chance to do what it believes is right.

The committee will address Goodell's salary and compensation package. The last written counterproposal from Goodell, which was around the first of August, was seeking about $49.5 million per year, as well as the lifetime use of a private jet and lifetime health insurance for his family, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.

I wouldn't give him $4.95.

I wouldn't give him $4.95.

Overpaying I see.

If they extend this guy, the irreparable harm will be my love for this game.

 

[MarkP88]

I'm still waiting for someone to explain why Goodell (or any Commissioner) deserves more money than any player. I mean, way more money. Who in their right mind thinks the Commissioner is more integral to the popularity and growth of the game than the game's biggest stars?

 

[Avery]

I will take this job at 1% of the salary, keep your plane and I guarantee I will do better job than this halfwit.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

It's getting so I don't care anymore. Not watching any other games anyway. They can all burn together.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Yup, go right ahead and give him that extension. Not only will you be wasting $49.5 million (and the private jet and healthcare expenses), but I'll be done. Adios muchachos.

I want Goodell gone and I would hire him to fold my laundry for Free. I truly hate that loser. But with the amount of money the NFL makes every year I feel like offer 50 million a year for the commish is about right. That's like 1% of the income the NFL makes every year. (Yes I made that stat up). Can't blame the guy for trying to get as much as possible. But I just hope the owners flip him off and say goodbye. Give thst 50 million to a commish who can do a much better job.

That is way too much for a guy who judge, jury, and executioner.

Ask Bernie Ecclestone the ex-Formula 1 boss. He earned many muliples of even the most successful teams/drivers. Used to say that if it wasnt for him getting the best commercial deals, nobody would be paid as much as today.....he made them all into multi millionaires. I suppose Roger could use the same logic?

After everything that is going wrong in the NFL, including declining ratings if they not only extend him but give him a ridiculous increase, I feel zero sympathy for the owners when it gets even worse for them.

It's the nature of corporate culture since the 1980s.

Welcome to corporate America. The company I work for got fined 150 million dollars and The CEO and Executives gave themselves huge raises and bonuses. It’s the sucky part of capitalism, those on top write the rules for themselves.

Lol, that's fair but Ill admit I pretty much only watch Cowboy games now. Although my excitement for football is also diminished by our crap team.

 

[mugsybows]

id love for there to be a hold out at some point so the owners can see the NFL would operate just fine/probably better without a commissioner.

I say give him a private jet ......As long as he promises to never come back

The Cowboys, in DFW, got an 18 share last week on Thanksgiving.

Less that 1 out of 5 houses had the game on in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Yep.

Yep.

I'll bet less than 1 in 5 houses in DFW have members on this site, too.

People who spend time here watch, even when they get mad and claim otherwise.
