What happened: NFL teams were notified Sunday that the agreement had been finalized. It marks Goodell's fifth contract extension since he became commissioner in 2006.
Why it matters: The term positions Goodell to oversee the league through the final season of its current collective bargaining agreement. He would remain commissioner through age 72.
By the numbers: Goodell's previous extensions came in 2009, 2012, 2017 and 2023; the latest would stretch his commissionership to 24 years.
What to watch: League owners next meet in October in New York, when Goodell could address priorities for the extended term.
