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‘s compensation committee within the past month and expressed interest in forgoing his salary, according to Andrew Beaton.
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 reported that Goodell’s pay reduction started this month, but doesn’t reflect the league’s plans for the 2020 season.
