This gives a hint as to how the owners (not necessarily the fans) in general feel about the job Goodell is doing.

Report: Roger Goodell close to contract extension through 2024
August 21, 2017, 7:29 AM EDT

If labor unrest in the NFL’s future is a “virtual certainty,” we know who’s going to be presiding over it.

According to Daniel Kaplan of Sports Business Daily, the league is close to a deal with commissioner Roger Goodell to extend his contract.

Goodell’s current deal expires after the 2019 season, but this would take him through 2024.

And with the CBA set to expire after the 2020 season, that would mean Goodell will again be representing owners.

Jerry Jones, when asked if he supported Goodell's extension did not want to comment.

Goodell gets paid $40 million+ to absorb the criticism and media heat away from the owners that pay him. He gets blamed for many things, but he's not doing anything outside of the job requirements established by the owners.

It's not surprising that they will keep him around. He's been great at deflecting away from the owners while also protecting the shield that gives all of them great profits.
