Roger Goodell has at least 300 hundred million reasons to go easy on Bob Kraft's team.
Kraft's role in inflating the NFL commissioner's huge salary is just one feature of their mutually beneficial friendship, according to a new article in GQ Magazine detailing Goodell's close relationship with the owner of the Patriots.
Kraft's role in inflating the NFL commissioner's huge salary is just one feature of their mutually beneficial friendship, according to a new article in GQ Magazine detailing Goodell's close relationship with the owner of the Patriots.
Kraft was instrumental in securing Goodell a gargantuan salary that amounts to a total of about $300 million over seven years.
The article points out that Kraft is a member of the league's compensation committee, comprised of three NFL team owners, which infamously set Goodell's pay package at $44 million per year for seven years starting in 2012. (For comparison's sake, outgoing Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig made about half amount toward the end of his tenure).
