Couple of recent NFL news:
* Kurt Cousins recently broke off talks with the Redskins in regards to a contract extension. Seems that neither side is close to agreeing to an amount and the Redskins are worried about having to use the franchise tag ($20 million) just to keep him off the market.
* Pats Jerod Mayo recently announced his retirement with part of the reason due to his injury prone body and the other part due to him probably getting released because of cap reasons ($11.4 million plus the $4 million roster bonus owed).
* Based on tax filing rules, Roger Goodell made around $34 million in 2014 as commish of the NFL. Due to the NFL dropping their tax exempt status last year, they are no longer required to publicly revealed how much money their commish makes every year and won't for what Goodell made last season. In terms of CBA stuff, Goodell has made around $142 million since the last CBA deal done in 2011.
