As a general rule in professional sports, a player can earn a massive contract extension by exceeding expectations on the field and contributing to the team.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is currently negotiating his own new contract, but he skipped over the part where the contract is earned.
CBS Sports reports that Goodell is asking for around $20 million in salary and lifetime usage of a private jet for him and his family, among other benefits. The NFL’s six-member compensation committee will finalize negotiations in the coming weeks, all but ensuring that Goodell will remain in power for the foreseeable future with a hefty compensation plan.
