Report: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell paid nearly $128 million over 2 years

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was paid nearly $128 million over the past two years through his salary, bonuses and other benefits, according to The New York Times.

That figure, per the report, was discussed at the league-wide owners meeting in New York earlier this week. About 90% of Goodell’s pay over the past two years came from bonuses alone, four sources told The New York Times — which was so large “because he had helped secure such favorable labor and media deals.”

Specifically, Goodell was paid $63,900,050 each year — which totals up to $127.
