NFL commissioner Roger Goodell received a three-year contract extension through March 2027, the league announced Wednesday.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed by the NFL.

Goodell, 64, reportedly made $63.9 million per year in 2020 and 2021. His new deal is expected to be incentive-laden and likely the most lucrative given to any commissioner based on the league’s financial success with respect to its recent media rights deals.

The Compensation Committee updated the league’s owners on Wednesday that an agreement had been reached for Goodell, who now has received four extensions since taking over for Paul Tagliabue in September 2006. The previous extensions were 2009, 2012 and 2017.
