Poor Roger Goodell apparently received a pay cut in 2015, but he still made a ridiculous amount of money.
The NFL announced Thursday that its commissioner received just north of $31 million in 2015, which is a 7 percent decrease from the $34 million he made in 2014.
To put that figure into perspective, his $31 million-plus salary in 2015 was the least he’s made in the past four years.

Maybe the league needed a few extra dollars for its ongoing legal battle against Tom Brady over Deflategate?
