But after a dispute between the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the half-dozen team owners who made up the compensation committee, Goodell’s contract was restructured to rely heavily on performance-based bonuses instead of guaranteed salaries.

In the past, the compensation committee recommended a figure that went to the full ownership for approval.
The owners on Wednesday were told that Goodell’s recent pay package, about 90 percent of which is bonuses, was so large because he had helped secure such favorable labor and media deals, according to four people who attended the meeting and spoke on the condition of anonymity because it was a private session among about two dozen team owners. The N.F.L.’s calendar year begins in mid-March, and Goodell’s pay each year is determined by several prominent committees made up of owners of the league’s 32 clubs. During a session on Wednesday when only team owners were in attendance, a slide was shown listing the commissioner’s pay: $63,900,050 per year, or just under $128 million for the fiscal years 2019-21. Goodell’s compensation was discussed at a two-day meeting of the league’s owners in Manhattan this week. The nine-figure combination of salary, bonuses and other benefits made Goodell one of the highest-paid executives in the country, and the disclosure of the deal comes at a time when he has been criticized for his handling of numerous thorny issues, including the investigation into widespread workplace harassment at the Washington Football Team.
Commissioner Roger Goodell’s pay for the past two fiscal years totaled almost $128 million, bolstered by bonuses for helping the league’s owners clinch a new 10-year labor deal with the players and secure media contracts worth more than $100 billion over the next decade.
