On Wednesday, the NFL officially signed commissioner Roger Goodell to a five-year extension (NFLTR).
Falcons owner Arthur Blank, the chairman of the Compensation Committee, tells Peter King of TheMMQB.com that this deal will open line of communication between owners and Goodell moving forward.
“One thing that’s come out of this that’s very good, I believe, is the fact that owners are going to have a much more open line of communication with Roger now,” said Blank. “At every owners’ meeting now, we’re going to have an owners-only session, and then an owners session with Roger, with everyone else out of the room.
