NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has apparently volunteered to reduce his salary from something around $40 Million to a mere $0.00 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Goodell went to the NFL [1]‘s compensation committee within the past month and expressed interest in forgoing his salary, according to Andrew Beaton [2].
If you didn’t know, Goodell is by far the highest-paid sports league commissioner, with the NBA’s Adam Silver and MLB’s Rob Manfred making somewhere near $10 million a year, according to reports.
Goodell’s base salary is reportedly around $20 million, but can double with incentives. As it turns out he’s not the only one taking a pay cut, other top execs are taking between 5-20% salary decreases, according to Seth Wickersham.
TMZ [3] reported that Goodell’s pay reduction started this month, but doesn’t reflect the league’s plans for the 2020 season.
