What happened: The four-season agreement for Roger Goodell expires March 31, 2031. It is his fifth renewal since becoming commissioner in 2006.

Why it matters: The new term positions Goodell to oversee collective bargaining before the current labor deal expires in March 2031, with an 18-game schedule under consideration. Congressional scrutiny of streaming rights has also placed the league's limited antitrust exemption under pressure.

What to watch: Watch for the opening of labor talks and any formal owner proposal to expand the regular season.
