Roger Goodell has signed a five-year deal worth $200 million to extend his run as NFL commissioner, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. As long as league owners approve the bonuses and incentives in place, the new deal means Goodell will make $40 million annually, which is $13 million more than Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. That last tidbit of information is enough to drive any NFL fan crazy, and as expected, they took to Twitter to air out their grievances.
