Earning His Keep: Roger Goodell's Salary Examined By CNBC

CNBC Examines Goodell's Salary From
First Season As NFL Commissioner |
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's salary was examined by CNBC’s Darren Rovell yesterday after SportsBusiness Journal reported earlier this week that Goodell’s “prorated 2007 salary” was $11.2M. Rovell: “We’re looking into whether the league’s top exec deserves that type of compensation. Now obviously, CEO-type pay is very subjective, but we’ll start evaluating Goodell’s paycheck by coming up with a net worth, or a market cap, of the NFL, which is private, of course. The worth of all 32 of the league’s teams is $30.6(B), according to Forbes, so we’ll go with that number. That makes the NFL the size of Lehman Bros., Hess or Nike, and Goodell’s salary ... isn’t out of whack among those top executives.” Rovell noted that if Goodell was a player in the NFL, he "would be the 25th highest-paid player in 2007.” Rovell: “For all that Roger Goodell had to go through this year -- the Patriots [Spygate] scandal, the Michael Vick situation among them -- and the way he handled it, Roger Goodell might be underpaid” (“Street Signs,” CNBC, 2/26).
