NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has agreed on a four-year contract extension that runs through the 2030 season and will end on March 31, 2031.

The NFL’s Compensation Committee notified the full ownership of the agreement Sunday.

In a memo sent to team owners that was obtained by The Associated Press, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said: “We believe we are very fortunate to have Roger at the helm for the next four years.”

The expiration of Goodell’s contract coincides with the end of the current collective bargaining agreement.

Kraft is the chairman of the league’s compensation committee.
