Eagan, Minn. — Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL have agreed on the framework of a three-year contract extension that will keep him in place until 2027, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay confirmed Tuesday at the league meetings.
Goodell's current deal expires in 2024. He has been commissioner of the league since replacing Paul Tagliabue in 2006.
“That's always good news," Irsay told reporters in Minnesota, where owners finished their spring meetings. “I think we still have to rubber-stamp it so to speak, but it's virtually done.”
Irsay said he's under the impression Goodell will retire after the extended contract expires and be involved in the development of a potential successor.
