The contract extension of Roger Goodell as commissioner of NFL has been agreed upon. The issues that were delaying Goodell's extension have been resolved.
It could take days, or maybe weeks, to finalize, but the contract is "getting done," according to the source.
Jerry Jones raised issues about the deal and wanted to open up the search. Jones tried to insert himself into negotiations but ultimately was unsuccessful in preventing the deal.
"That's what he tried to do," the source said, "but he got shot down."
A conference call Wednesday of the compensation committee helped seal the deal.
Goodell's current deal expires in 2019. Goodell earned $34.1 million in compensation in 2014 and $32 million in 2015.
