NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reduced his salary to $0 last month amid the coronavirus pandemic, an NFL spokesperson told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Goodell was set to make up to $40 million per year after signing a five-year extension in 2017 worth a max of $200 million if incentives are met. His base salary is in the range of $20 million.

Per Schefter, the change in income has nothing to do with the league's plans for the 2020 season, which remains on schedule to begin in September.
