It is amazing that Goodell who has never put on a helmet wants a guaranteed contract that is almost double what any NFL player makes.
Maybe this is why Jerry Jones is so upset.
The conference call, first reported Saturday by The New York Times, marks the first call since Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones voiced his displeasure about the contract extension that the committee has been discussing. The call also gives the committee a chance to do what it believes is right.
The committee will address Goodell’s salary and compensation package. The last written counterproposal from Goodell, which was around the first of August, was seeking about $50 million per year, as well as the lifetime use of a private jet and lifetime health insurance for his family, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.
One NFL owner told ESPN that there are “several owners in this league who don’t make $40 million a year.” The owner was referring to the salaries that owners take, which does not include the increase in valuations that each NFL franchise has undergone.
“That number for Roger just seems too much,” the owner said. “It’s offensive. It’s unseemly.”
That is ridiculously for someone who isn’t even doing his job that well.
