Roger Goodell is close to a new five-year contract to remain as the NFL’s commissioner, according to multiple reports.
The deal would keep him through the 2024 season. Goodell’s contract expires in 2019, so the extension would reportedly kick in once his current one expires.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter, however, reported Goodell and the owners still have some “issues to work out” before a deal gets done.
Talks for Roger Goodell’s new deal have not progressed as some thought, per source. Deal likely to get done, but still issues to work out.
