Good timing on his part. Now viewership is declining due to the boneheaded way he's handled the protesting, player discipline etc. Doesn't seem like he has earned a hefty raise and even more benefits. I think he gets more credit than deserved. Like I said, I'd like to hear what the owners say about him. He has to be doing something right, just don't see it from my perspective.

Doesn't matter how much credit you give him for the ratings rise and the associated rise in money the NFL made, the fact is he takes the blame for everything and under his leadership profits have risen exponentially. The majority of owners who haven't been punished by him for some reason or other see the dollar signs, which is why the vote was unanimous to let the compensation committee negotiate his extension.
