The 64-year-old son of a former US lawmaker, Goodell was elected to replace the retiring Paul Tagliabue as commissioner 17 years ago after serving a variety of jobs with the NFL since starting as an intern in 1982.
NEW YORK -- Roger Goodell, who has served as the NFL's commissioner since 2006, has been given a three-year contract extension through March 2027, the league compensation committee announced on Wednesday, Oct. 18.
"If I was focusing on my legacy, I wouldn't be standing in front of you," Goodell told reporters."I wouldn't have signed an extension. "From my standpoint, there's still a number of things we want to do as a league," Goodell said."There are lot of challenges out there but there are also a lot of opportunities for us and we're focused on how we make the NFL better every day, how we become a global sport.
Goodell called the addition of flag football as an official sport for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics a"very significant" move for the sport.
