Goodell signs deal worth near $200M

Roger Goodell signed a five-year contract extension to remain commissioner of the NFL through 2024.

A memo from the NFL’s compensation committee to team owners and obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press confirms that Goodell and committee chairman Arthur Blank, owner of the Falcons, signed the extension.

That extension has been a source of controversy because Cowboys owner Jerry Jones objected to the process.

A person familiar with the contract told The Associated Press it’s worth almost $200 million, with a base of $40 million.

Goodell earned nearly $32 million in 2015, the last year in which public records for the NFL are available.

Jones wasn’t immediately available for comment.

Shazier in new hospital:

Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier has been transferred from a Cincinnati hospital to Pittsburgh to continue treatment for a spinal injury suffered during Monday night’s game against the Bengals. The Steelers said Shazier will continue to undergo tests before offering an update on his status.

Shazier left Paul Brown Stadium on a stretcher less than four minutes into his team’s 23-20 victory over the Bengals after a tackle that left the 25year-old writhing on the turf, his legs motionless.

NFL to review targeting:

The league will look into adding targeting as a specific category for video review. Troy Vincent, the league’s football operations chief, said it’s on the agenda to discuss with the competition committee and the players union after the season.
