Roger Goodell has “signed and finalized” a contract to continue as the commissioner of the National Football League through 2027, the league announced on Wednesday.
Goodell, 64, has been the commissioner of the NFL since 2006 when he was elected to replace the retiring Paul Tagliabue. This will be Roger’s fourth extension, following re-ups in 2009, 2012 and 2017.
Goodell began his NFL tenure in 1982 as an administrative intern in the league office under then-Commissioner Pete Rozelle, and his time with the league will now now extend to cover 45 years in total and 21 as the commissioner.
