It's unclear at this point who might be considered as the next NFL commissioner, though Goodell told Bloomberg TV in 2016 (viaย Mike Florioย of Pro Football Talk) he believed his successor would come from within NFL circles.ย
Goodell has been the NFL's commissioner since Sept. 1, 2006 when he took over after Paul Tagliabue retired. The 58-year-old has worked with the league since 1982 and he was eventually promoted to NFLย Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in 2001.ย
Under Goodell's watch, the NFL generated aย recordย $7.8 billion in revenue in 2016. He's also been at the center of controversies, most notably his handling of discipline for players like former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice for domestic violence and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for Deflategate.ย
