NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell faces contract extension and Jed York investigation
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to receive a contract extension, according to reports following a meeting of the league's 32 owners in Atlanta. While no deal was finalized during the Wednesday meeting, sources indicate owners are confident an extension will occur. Maintaining Goodell's leadership is viewed as important for upcoming negotiations regarding a new collective bargaining agreement and broadcast partner contracts.
Separately, Goodell addressed the league's investigation into San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York. York recently pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges following an arrest in Ohio involving the arrangement of sexual activity. Goodell confirmed that the matter is currently “being reviewed under the personal conduct policy” and stated that the league will provide further updates once a determination is made.
