Goodell salary

Post by dead_poet »

That's a decent bonus.

Roger Goodell
The SportsBusiness Journal reports NFL commissioner Roger Goodell earned $44.2 million in a 12-month period ending Mar. 31, 2013.

According to reporter Daniel Kaplan, the league's tax return will indicate Goodell was paid a $3.5 million salary and $40.36 million "bonus." Goodell's absurd bonus is more than the vast majority of NFL players earn in a lifetime, and easily makes him the highest-paid commissioner in North American sports. It's not a good look for a league that literally identifies itself as "not-for-profit" for tax purposes. We'd expect the commish's gargantuan salary to be dialed back for the next fiscal year.

He must be collecting the player fines he doles out.

Ha. I think they have his salary and "bonus" switched around.

Well, they should be switched around, anyway. That is just plain odd. Jealous!

LOL! I can just picture him in his office, watching a game: "That was a helmet-to helmet hit! That was too! That guy's wearing the wrong shoes! We can fine him for that right? Right?"

When you're at that level (if you think of him as CEO of a $9B company), compensation is largely performance based, so the base salary is a smaller percentage of compensation and bonus.

I'm not surprised to see him getting a huge bonus for last year. The league is making tons of money and he closed their single largest financial exposure with the concussion settlement.

Actually only a small portion of that $9B is not taxed. The teams pay taxes on what they make, the player pay taxes on what they make and the coaches pay taxes on what they make.
