Roger Goodell made $29M-plus in '11

There was a time during the NFL lockout in 2011 that Roger Goodell was voluntarily earning a $1 salary. With a collective bargaining agreement eventually reached with the players, and only one preseason game missed, Goodell's compensation went up quite a bit.

A copy obtained of the league's tax return confirms the commissioner earned $29.49 million in 2011. The league's general counsel, Jeff Pash, who also reduced his salary to $1 during the lockout, came away with $8.8 million in total compensation.


Goodell earned $11.6 million in 2010.


"The NFL is the most successful and best-managed sports league in the world," Falcons owner Arthur Blank said in a statement obtained by The Sports Business Daily. "This is no small part due to Roger's leadership and the value he brings to the table in every facet of the sport and business of the league. His compensation reflects that."
The Sports Business Daily was the first to report the numbers.


Goodell's compensation likely makes him the highest-paid commissioner in sports. Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig and NBA commissioner David Stern earn in the range of $20 million annually.

If anything the guy doesn't make as much as the other heads(on comparison by sports size)... but at the thought of them being paid this amount it is kind of sick... especially nba and the salary cap.. stern makes equal or likely more than lebron even after winning the title..

Anyone with any sense at all could make the NFL a success.

This is like the 100th guy in the Microsoft food chain making 30 million except easier.

I don't give a crap what the NFL decides to pay their employees. The owners are making millions too. It's all very well-regulated. In other words no one is legally ripping anyone else off. This is between two independent parties. If a rich league wants to pay their commissioner millions I don't care.
