NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reduced his salary to zero, according to a person familiar with the move.
The person told The Associated Press that Goodell voluntarily had his salary reduced this month. He makes upward of $30 million a year from salaries and bonuses.
Other NFL employees will be taking pay cuts or furloughs due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The league is implementing tiered reductions in base salary, beginning with the pay period ending May 22.
The reduction will be 5% for workers up to the manager's level, 7% for directors, 10% for vice-presidents, 12% for senior vice-presidents, and 15% for executive vice-presidents.
In a memo sent to league office staffers, Goodell also said no employee earning a base salary of less than $100,000 will be affected by these reductions, and no employee's salary will be reduced below $100,000 by the reductions.
