FLASHBACK: NFL's Goodell Seeks To Look Past 'Tough Year,' To Future
By Mike Florio, Feb. 14, 2014, ProFootballTalk.com
Commissioner Roger Goodell made $44.2 million last year. But he didn’t actually make$44.2 million.
In actuality, he earned $35.1 million in salary, bonus, and pension compensation for the one-year period (ending March 31, 2013) covered by the Form 1099, filed by all tax-exempt organizations. The compensation also includes a $5 million incentive payment and a $4.1 million pension payment from the year of the work stoppage, which was paid in 2012.
In other words, Goodell’s compensation of nearly $30 million in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 was $9.1 million too light. It should have been nearly $39 million that year, with only $35.1 million earned the following 12 months.
Which means he actually made roughly $4 million less from one year to the next.
Apart from the explanation, which once the numbers get above $10 million don’t really matter to 99.99999 percent of us, the league has defended Goodell’s high wages via a stream of quotes from owners serving on the Compensation Committee.
