NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will cut his salary to $1 if there is a work stoppage after the collective bargaining agreement expires in March. Goodell, who makes about $10 million a year including bonuses, said in a memo to his staff Wednesday that chief negotiator Jeff Pash will do the same. Pash makes nearly $5 million a year. Goodell also has asked the league's compensation committee to delay any bonus payments to him until after a deal is reached with the NFL Players Association. "Let me emphasize that we are fully committed to doing everything possible to reach a new collective bargaining agreement without any disruption to our business," Goodell said. "The entire senior leadership team stands with me in its commitment to resolving the CBA issues with the player's union. "While several other executives have also volunteered to make additional reductions to their compensation, I have asked them not to take that step at this time as we continue our negotiating efforts." NFL owners opted out of the agreement in 2008. Source: Associated Press
Why is he making 10 million a year anyway? Kind of a lot imo but whatevs. Executives in general make too much money. It's an empty gesture in my opinion, it really isn't like he needs the money.
..oh, 1 dollar? Okay, it's no longer an empty gesture. But if he can't get it done, he doesn't deserve any more than a dollar anyway.
this guy makes 10 million and the owners think the players are getting too much money.... imo .... todays heck you goes to mr. roger goodell FREAK YOU GOODELL
I actually would respect Goodell for this move, but it wouldn't help me get over no football for a year any easier.
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that he makes 10 MILLION FREAKING DOLLARS A YEAR!! HOLY CRAP!!!! Empty gesture. Suck it Roger, suck it.
